RE: (Gum) Multi prints???

Hi Yves. Being just a beginner (practice-wise, not theory.. And I say
this knowing practice is the very best gum-instructor) in gum dichromate
printing, I wait with great enthusiasm the results of your tests and the
description of the new roadmaps you will provide someday (hope soon).
Also, you can be sure it would be a great treat to me very if you'd
share some prints...

Regards,
Loris.

...One last thing I could add, I not convinced that using a single
exposure with a negative of a relatively low density range (0.7-0.9)
automatically mean it is "not going to produce a very exciting image" to
use your own words. If one is using a pigment that is just "right",
meaning optimal for both the UV and the visual spectrum it is quite
reasonable to think, that with the Dmax and gradation we can get from
this mix, we can very well produce an exiting image, I wouldn't be
surprise if there where quite a few pigment that could be used in single
coat prints. As I said above, the gum process as a wide envelope or a
wide gamut if you prefer, I would be the one to seek what those limits
are and update the maps accordingly instead of being satisfied with the
already explored territory...
