RE: Ideas about our carbon web site

Sandy,

I consider frilling to be an edge phenomena, We've been doing a lot of crazy
things as of late and when I say shedding I mean the print floating off the
support, which is in my mind, shedding not frilling. Friday we were running
tests on time and temperature factors in the mating step and some did shed.
Maybe I overstepped it by describing Mary's prints as shedding.

Dick,

I am wondering why you are using the word "shedding" when this
phenomenon has generally been referred to in the literature of carbon
printing as "frilling"?
