Salted Paper Printing

Figure 11.1 Spray, CMY gum over salted paper © Christina Z. Anderson 2017.

Then I reopened the original color image, did a CMYK split, and printed CMY on top of the fully tonal salt image.

Printing salt with the K negative of a CMYK split prints a less salt-dominant image because the salt only prints the blacks.
