The problems of opacity and transparency of pigments are not unknown
to me. They are also not unique to gum printing but are relevant to
carbon and of course the whole printing industry.
This said, of course I have visited your web pages. I enjoyed very
much (and learned from) the pigments discussion, which is uncommonly
informative.
I started doing monochrome gums, and did them for a long time. Only
very recently I started to experiment in trichromy, and my choice of
phthalo blue came, if I'm not mistaken, after reading your material.
If not in your pages, certainly on the list. For you it might be too
'garish', as you say, but for me it is perfect. I'm one of those
'opaque tone printers' as you define them :-)

... If you're interested, look at the discussion about opacity and
transparency on my pigment page, and see the chart which shows opaque
pigments on one side and transparent pigments on the other, going all
the way to a black which Photoshop calls 100% black.
