Gum Printing and Other Amazing Contact Printing Processes is the culmination of 10 years of research in resources from the beginning of photography to present day. Start with a Digital Negatives chapter co-written with Ron Reeder, with a step by step digital negative method simple enough for all to understand but complex enough for even the most demanding processes. Section I incl. 7 chapters on gum and 2 on casein, dichromated colloid processes. For History buffs, extensive historical research included on gum & casein. Incl. a Pigment Chart & Troubleshooting Chart Section II covers the most popular contact printing processes: cyanotype, argyrotype, kallitype, vandyke brown, platinum, palladium, POP palladium/ziatype, salted paper, and combination printing. The real backbone of the text is 500+ images from 100+ photographers ranging from beginner to seasoned pro and even a few who “wrote the history of alt.” The captions underneath the images-almost half again as many words as the text itself-are peppered with gems of wisdom not to be missed.
