Dear list members,
After seeing some of the beautiful results that are being had with
gum-over methods (gum-over pt/pd, gum-over kallitype, gum-over
cyanotype, etc.) I have recently been considering doing some gum
printing again after a long period of abstinence.
So here is the thing. In doing some research on gum printing I
happened to come across a section in William Crawford's article on
gum printing in Keepers of Light called Pigment Concentration.
Crawford's description of the dot test method to determine the right
pigment-to-gum ratio for various colors and papers surfaces sure
seems interesting. I wonder if anybody on the list has actually tried
it, and if so, what are there thoughts about how well it works?
Thanks in advance for any useful information or opinions you may have
about the dot test method described by Crawford.
And BTW, please don't refer me to the list archives. Even though the
test may have been discussed on the list at some point in the past I
would really like to hear some fresh opinions on the subject.
Sandy King
