Hi
I have come to take "direct carbon" as meaning "gum printing" with gelatine
and gum printing - obviously - as gum printing with gum arabic.
Have a feeling two names here just confuses things, but..
(my impression is that gelatine gives a sharper image and is less forgiving
with coating problems than gum - brush marks, etc.)
Any comments on this understanding ?
