Re: Ah, relief

Dick,

I tried to make a 3-color carbon this time last year using the triple
transfer process and a step wedge. I spent 3 months trying to
balance my tissues so that the step wedge printed neutral. I failed
and burned myself out completely. I put all my carbon stuff away.
Now I'm back at monochrome after having recovered. One day I will go
at it again. This time I will forget about step wedges. I'll make
contone balanced separation negatives and manufacture my tissues in
such a way that I get a print that isn't too horrible to look at.
When I make just one print this way, I will then make the seps
digitally in photoshop and buy your 3-color tissue on a regular basis.

Eric.
