I seemed to have missed the thread on making paper but was actually just
about to post something about it. I am very interested in getting some
pre-sized(and pre-shrunk) paper for Gum Bichromate printing. There is a
local paper maker that might be convinced to make a custom batch of paper
according to our specifications. The paper this local maker produces is
already fairly close(and I beleive some photographers use it) to Gum specs,
as it is pre-sized, but I think more sizing and a better sheet size would
make it pretty much perfect.

Would someone with more experience with Gum list all the necessary specs
for paper to be used for Gum printing?
