Digital BW, The Print

Hmmm... Who was it who was thinking of "paleo-prints" for the carbon
quadtones?

Thought people might enjoy a little bit of the still ongoing exchange on
Carbon pigment inkjet prints vs. traditional carbon prints from the LF list:

"Some great info at this link:

From which comes this:

"Historians hypothesize that paint was applied by brushing, smearing,
dabbing and spraying techniques. Large areas were covered with fingertips
or pads of lichen or moss. Twigs produced drawn or linear marks, while
feathers blended areas of color. Brushes made from horse hair were used
for paint application and outlining. Paint spraying, accomplished by
blowing paint through hollow bones, yielded a finely grained distribution
of pigment, like airbrush."

Hmmm, it DOES appear that the Giclee was around earlier than 'carbon
printing'... oh, about 30,000 years earlier. Guess Katherine will have to
come up with some more 'distinctions'!

Guess you better get to work--maybe on some
'post-paleolithic-carbon-UV-frame-prints'. You wouldn't want your
buyers to feel as if you were 'obscuring' names in order to 'fool'
them."
