Gum Printing and Other Amazing Contact Printing Processes is the culmination of ten years of research in resources from the beginning of photography to present day. The book begins 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 includes seven chapters on gum and two on casein, a comprehensive treatment of these two beautiful dichromated colloid processes. History buffs will be pleased with the extensive historical research included on gum and casein. A Pigment Chart makes choosing pigments for tricolor gum and casein very simple. A Troubleshooting Chart is a great help for pinpointing problems. 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.
