I don't do any gum yet, but I wonder if humidified paper would lead to easier
coating? And, how much would humidity effect DMax (maybe not so much?),
Tonal Range, eveness, etc working with Dichromates? According to Sandy King, it
sure does have an affect on Carbon, and Carbon uses dichromates....
hmmmmmmmmmmm
