RE: color accuracy in gum bichromate

Thanks Darryl.

I wonder what's Joe's coating method for sheets that are equally "large"
then (perhaps "extra huge" is a better adjective for this case)... and
if he doesn't make such huge prints, then I also wonder what's the point
in mentioning such an exceptional method in a context consisting of
color accuracy? (Because I don't think color accuracy is related to the
size of the prints unless they small to the extent that the dithering /
halftone pattern veils tone - please correct me if I'm wrong)

Regards,
Loris.
