Re: acetone

Eric,

What I have tried to convey in my conversations with people and in my
writings is that there is no one single carbon look. Prints can be of any
color imaginable, on virtulaly any surface, can have great relief or no
relief, look pictorial and painterly or extrmely sharp and with hard
edges. All of this is possible with carbon, and I have no preference what
other people do, but I do want them to know that these possibilities
exist. Everything is potentilly capable of making a big difference. For
exmaple, some of my tissue that will give high relief on some papers gives
virtually no relief on other papers. It is hard to be a real master at
this process because there are so many possibilities and things to
control.

The danger with this is that someone will look at a carbon print made in a
particular way assume that this is the only look possible.
