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 ?
