 Postage stamp gum
Originally, gumming took place after printing and before perforation, usually because the paper had to be damp for printing to work well, but in modern times most stamp printing is done dry on pregummed paper.
The gum is universally spread as uniformly as possible, but a 1946 local issue by the town of Finsterwalde in Germany used an economy process where the back of the stamp had a regular pattern of circular bare patches.
Other reasons have included lack of access to gum (the typewritten "Cowries" of 1895 Uganda), extreme tropical climate (1873 Curacao and Suriname), and intent to sell only to collectors (as with the US "Farley's Follies" souvenir sheets of 1933).

 Postage stamp gum - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
perforation, usually because the paper had to be damp for printing to work well, but in modern times most stamp printing is done dry on pregummed paper.
Nevertheless, many collectors of unused stamps want copies that are "mint" or "post office fresh", which means that the gum must be pristine and intact, and they will pay a premium for these.
The greatest manufacturing problem of the gumming process is its tendency to make the stamps curl, due to the different reaction of paper and gum to varying moisture levels.

Gum arabic is also used in the newspaper and magazine printing process, allowing ink to better stick to the paper while keeping it from smearing, as well as protecting the printing plates from oxidation.
Gum arabic's applications are wide spread, some typical applications are acting as an emulsifier, flavoring agent, and thickener in both food and pharmaceuticals.
Although gum arabic is a little known substance to a majority of the American public, it affects almost everyone's daily lives.

 GUM - LoveToKnow Article on GUM
Gum tragacanth is used in calico-printing as a thickener of colors and mordants; in medicine as a demulcent and vehicle for insoluble powders, and as an excipient in pills; and for setting and mending beetles and other insect specimens.
Gum arabic is not precipitated from solution by alum, stannous chloride, sulphate or nitrate of copper, or neutral lead acetate; with basic lead acetate it forms a white jelly, with ferric chloride it yields a stiff clear gelatinoid mass, and its solutions are also precipitated by borax.
The acacias and the Rosaceae yield their gums most abundantly when sickly and in an abnormal state, caused by a fulness of sap in the young tissues, whereby the new cells are softened and finally disorganized; the cavities thus formed fill with liquid, which exudes, dries and constitutes the gum.

 Viewing Japanese Prints: "Quality and Grading"
Printing metallics and minerals from woodblocks was difficult because when metal powders and minerals such as mica and 'gofun' were mixed on a block with glue, paste, gum Arabic, or other sizing, they tended to stick to the block during printing and did not transfer uniformly to the paper.
Printing the Design: Nearly all printmaking colorants were applied with a brush directly to the color blocks, and then a small quantity of a binding agent made from water-dispersible rice flour paste ('himenori') was mixed with the pigment already on the block to thicken the pigment and facilitate control and rubbing into the paper.
This brief discussion introduces the traditional method of printing ukiyo-e prints from woodblocks.

Gum Arabic can be added to the painting formula to fix the pigment in the fabric, thus saving printing costs.
Gum arabic's water solubility, low viscosity, and adhesiveness gives it value as a glaze for buns to provide gloss and flexibility and also makes it useful as a component in toppings and icing bases and in applications where its emulsifying power is important.
Gum arabic imparts the lowest viscosity to water of then normal, unhydrolyzed industrial gums, A comparison of its solution viscosity with tragacacanth karaya, ghatti, and corn fiber gums is shown in figure 1.

 The Detection of Regummed and Reperforated Stamps
Another clue to look for with stamps printed by a rotary press process (rather than flat plate printing) is that the original gum stamp will usually possess vertical gum ridges, whereas the regummed stamp will have smooth gum with no ridges.
With an original gum stamp a watermark is normally visible only by dipping the stamp in a watermark tray using watermark fluid, or by holding the stamp up to a strong light.
Also, holes created by the rotary perforating wheel were in the shape of an ellipse or oval rather than a perfect circle.

 Guar Gum
Guar gum has almost 8 times the thickening power as cornstarch, and is used in dressings, sauces, milk products, and baking mixes.
They are also used as a livestock feed, and for producing a guar gum, which is used as a thickener and emulsifier in commercial food processing.
Guar gum creates a spongier texture (like in cakes) than xanthan gum which produces a stretchier texture (best for breads).

 AlternativePhotography.com : the gum bichromate process
When printing several colours in sequence and using the same negative, use Opaque Red to mask off areas on the negative that you wish not to print with the next colour.Make sure that you paint this on the film base not the emulsion side of your negative.
The Gum Bichromate print is different than the other processes in that the sensitive emulsion offers a base that a dye or water pigment can be added to produce any colour print the maker requires.
For a photographic rendition, use a soft blending brush to finish the application.

 Acacia senegal
Tree yields commercial gum arabic, used extensively in pharmaceutical preparations, inks, pottery pigments, water-colors, wax polishes, and liquid gum; for dressing fabrics, giving lustre to silk and crepe; for thickening colors and mordants in calico-printing; in confections and sweetmeats.
Gum arabic is oderless with a bland taste, yellowish and some tears are vermiform in shape.
Gum exudes froin cracks in bark of wild trees, mostly in the dry season, with little or none in the rainy season when flowers are out.

 3CG
When I first began using cyanotype as a color with gum, it was because tri-color gum and tri-color casein were causing many problems: one was staining, and another was the graininess/ mottling that appeared after a few coats of gum.
After my initial experience of using cyanotype with gum sometime around 1990, the advantages were so obvious that I have been using this combination ever since.
Apparently records of this kind of this combination can be traced back to the early years of the 20th century though I have never seen any of the prints - actually I have hardly ever seen any historical tri-color gum.

 Thayer Pigments
The pigment mixed with gum to printing strength wiped away cleanly in both conditions (the bits of color remaining are not from stain, but from sloppy wiping) but the paint that wasn't mixed with additional gum stained badly, as the swatches on the right show clearly..
All pigments in gum printing "lift." at printing strength, as an important feature of the process is that when the dried and exposed print is put in water, the pigment lifts off of areas where the gum is soluble.
Dry pigment is perhaps the better way to go for a serious worker, as you know what pigment you've got to start with; you are in complete control of the pigment and of what is added to it along the way.
