Your print along with the video
@loccdor posted here have got me musing about
finally giving these gorgeous papers a go. I'm leaning initially towards salt prints at least to come to grips with the unique nature of the material (read: figuring out how to handle the wet sheets...) Ideally I'd end up with some other process, preferably pigment-based, but I haven't figured out a good direction yet.
I've seen other people coat light weight Kozo and Gampi when it's dry, but I've been using another technique.
1) Place Gampi on a sheet of glass.
2) With a brush, wet out Gampi with distilled water
3) Tease a thin sheet of plastic (strip of OHP film or Rubylith) under one short edge
4) Lift wrinkled Gampi off glass, then drape slowly back onto glass from opposite edge, so it lays flat
5) With wet brush, stroke out gently from centre outwards until it has an even sheen and no bubbles
6) use a paper towel to blot off sheen...but no more!
7) Coat with normal amount of sensitizer
8) Takes between 15 to 20 minutes to dry in the dark under a fan
9) Using a razor, gently release edges and lift off glass.
This ensures the even absorption of sensitizer.
You can use pieces of OHP film or Rubylith to lift the paper out of solutions by gently guiding it under a short edge, holding the Gampi in place with a thumb, then slooowly lift it out of solution while holding the OHP at a slight angle to create enough friction so it doesn't fall off.
To dry...drape on glass, blot with paper, place under fan, put a small weight on a corner so it doesn't blow away if it comes off the glass. Takes about 30 minutes.
As of this date, that's how I'm doing things...subject to change at any time!
