I have a new affliction with some gum prints. On a intermittent basis I am getting small black or very dark brown spots that appear when a freshly coated piece of paper dries. They are not visible immediately after coating the paper but appear during the drying process. Currently I am using Fabriano Artistico Extra White hot press paper sized with gelatin that is hardened with glutaraldehyde. Once the little spots appear they remain permanently, ruining the print in most cases. I am at a loss to explain the origin of these spots and wonder if anyone else out there has encountered this problem.
