Hello to all the gum printers on the list!

I have a question related to clearing of the dichromate stain at the end of
the final printing.

Does the clearing increase the archival properties of gum prints or is the
clearing process essentially to remove any residual dichromate stain?

I have undertaken the clearing process as a matter of course though I have
not run into any issues with any noticeable dichromate stain for some time.
Can I safely omit this step?

Regards from sunny London
