Anyone know of a good, QUICK way to size paper for gum printing. In the
past ive always used hot gelatin, dried, formaldehyde, dry, gel, dry, for,
dry. gel, dry, for, dry. This takes forever!!!! and with 20x24 sheets its
a major pain in the ass. I tries to coat my paper with an acrylic base once
(some book said it was ok) but the emulsion just beaded up and wouldnt stick
evenly. am i doomed to spend days just sizing one sheet of paper, or what?
