Gum arabic 500g

Gum arabic (acacia tree resin) is a fundamental reagent used in the gum bichromate printing technique. We offer high-purity powdered gum arabic, suitable for preparing clear working solutions without the need for filtration.

Gum bichromate photographic technique

Gum bichromate is one of the most valued and painterly noble photographic processes. Multilayer prints created using this technique are characterized by exceptional plasticity, soft tonal transitions, and a subtle image quality that cannot be achieved with other photographic methods, as well as outstanding archival permanence.

Applications

• gum bichromate printing technique
• alternative and historical photographic processes
• preparation of light-sensitive pigment layers
• hand-coated multilayer prints
• pigment-based fine art photographic processes
