Digital BW, The Print

Paul,

I think you may have something there. If you haven't fooled around
with that Red River material you might try it, its cheap. It could
very well give you some ideas. The only problem is I used the Lyson
dyes on it and I don't know if pigments would work on it or not,
possibly. What is interesting about this type of media is how it
changes its look depending on what angle you view it from. As in 19th
century metal prints.
