I have used white only in printing gum bichromate on black paper  (using
a positive transparency).  It has not given any more luminosity to the
process.  This brings up a different question.  I think I would be more
successful using a middle-tone paper and printing up both highlights and
shadows.  The problem is:  what colored paper can hold up to
multiple-coat gum printing?
Any suggestions are welcome.
