Re: some of my gum prints online...

Dear Chriss, thank so much for your comments; I have
to say that I have learned a great deal from you.
Thank you for being so generous in the way you share
about the lovely gum process. The backlit film is the
white semi translucent stuff and it comes in 36" and
42" rolls. The gum prints take maybe five to eight
days, I can do two layers in one day...although this
the printing time after I had worked out all of the
colors adjustments. About the formaldehyde, I have not
use it since I was in college and that was a while
ago. I was not sensitive to anything then!
