  • Beautiful! Do you leave the paper on the aluminum backing after you're done, or do you remove it? If so, how do you get it off?

    Thanks in advance,

    Evan.

  • Hi, thank you for the video. I found it very interesting. I am wondering why you are using TWEEN 20. I have not heard of that before. I looked it up and found out it is some kind of emulsifier. I am very curious as to what it does within this process. Thank you.

  • @sanfranphotopapa

    It is a surfactant which helps me to coat easily and evenly... and it will help me to get rid of the "fisheyes" - greasy looking spots on the coated paper... thanks!

see all

  • Hi again, Just to let you know. I fall in love with the Gum printing process because of you. Any tips, links, books you suggest for me and others who would benefit from this videos? also I have some questions for you.

    1. Do you change the water between every wash? or it is safe to wash the CMYK in the same water?

    2. If you have the time, Could you show us how you made the CMYK Digi-Negatives?

    Thanks,
