I see. I can't say anything about that as I haven't used dark / opaque
pigments - yet. The context (of Judy's answer to Yves) wasn't specific
to very dark colors - in my understanding. Not having even 1/1000th
experience you both have in gum dichromate printing, I totally take your
statements as a true fact - context being dark pigments.

No problem at all. Because you said "...to print...", I thought your
comment was about my way of printing and/or mixing the pigment.
