I'm not Don but if I were printing 8 photos at once, I would do as
described below:

If your exposure time is around 2 minutes, you coat the sheets every 3
minutes (the extra 1 min. is for letting you place the negative and
coated paper into the contact printing frame - and then remove, and then
place in the developer bath)... So you can expose them consecutively
without changing the dry timing... You got the idea.

Regards,
Loris.

Hi don (and others),

I already considered myself a very modest gum printer: I sensitze only1
sheet (4*5 or 8*10) at a time, and you do 6-8 sheets a time (so making
my gum printing efforts almost minute..;-)..), so I wonder: do you see
differences between these sheets? I understood that the drying time of a
gum sheet is also a variable, and there must be a considerable
difference between these sheets before you can expose them. Or do you
use more UV printers or you work with differnt negatives at the same
time, or..

thanks,

Cor
