Combo prints

 
 
 
Chris
 
Sorry !
 
Although I do both platinum over gum and gum over platinum and they can both
be effective, it had not occurred to me to do gum over ink jet but then one
can what one likes as long as it does not frighten the horses. I did make a
cyanotype rex on the back of a discarded ink jet print last week, and the ink
jet print came through, but it wasn't very pretty.
 
As to names, I did set out a list of funny names on this list sometime
around the millennium. I liked your 'cyanodyke' which summoned up a picture of a
cold lady in a boiler suit.
 
Some ideas:
 
a platigum (platinum over gum)
a gummiplat (gum over platinum)
a bluegum (cyanotype over gum)
a glublue (gum over cyanotype)
kalligum (kallitype over gum)
gumbroil (gum over bromoil)
a gummigiclee (gum over ink jet)
 
or alternatively,
 
a thingummigic.

Oh, Terry, Terry, Terry,
I already got you covered :) I've got that article, and your process is
quoted in the combotype section, as if I remember all my sources, you were
the only one who talked about platinum on top of gum vs. the other way
around.

In reference to Dan B I am talking about platinum over ink jet pigment.

This is the problem which I address in my combotype chapter--there is no
suitable name for combotypes. You can't call them combination prints
because historically that refers to printing two negatives, e.g. sky from
one and landscape from another. Platinum over pigment is a term used now for
both gum and ink jet. Cyanodyke---yuk. Van cyanotype? I mean...maybe the
list is more creative on this and can come up with a better word than
Combotype which also sucks. Dual printing? Gumunders? Metaltops?
