This MaimeriBlu PR101 is rated very opaque, as you describe. In your
print it looks to be a pretty good approximation of the "sanguine"
used by Demachy. Although I prefer transparent pigments for layered
prints, an opaque pigment is often a good choice for a one-coat gum,
as you've demonstrated here.
