No, I've never noticed that. If anything, just the opposite: I've always thought that yellow had a broader range because the lighter-colored pigment in the emulsion tended to block light less than blue and red. But I admit I've never bothered to test that assumption.

Just curious if folks doing full color gum find that yellow prints with a shorter scale—fewer steps on a Stouffer?

First question: Yellow layer. The "Process" looking yellow paints are
giving me a normal DR and clear well. What they don't do is show the
individual steps well, I get more of a gradient than steps. I settled
on Rowney's "Permanent Yellow #664" (Quinophthalone Yellow PY138). The
image looks OK, but Yellow is always the color I have to reprint to get
the balance right. Is this normal, or am I using a poor paint choice.
