RE: Single coat gums
Hi Dick, Any chance you guys can get the Zimmerman JPEG file back up on the B&S web site? The current link is dead.

I had forgotten even doing that. Now that I have worked with carbon for a few years I can see where Zimmerman was coming from. I think his process is similar to what we think the direct carbon process was, and in specifics, the Arvel process. Christian Nze sent me a translation of a formula for direct carbon a few years ago. Basically it was a very thin tissue with very little gelatin and lots of pigment. Sounds a lot like Z's method. I am not sure what the working model is for this just yet. Like Jack Benny, I'm thinkin. --Dick -----Original Message----- From: Don Bryant [mailto:dsbryant@bellsouth.net] Sent: Thursday, May 17, 2007 1:02 PM To: alt-photo-process-l@usask.ca Subject: RE: Single coat gums Hi John, Thanks for the link but I was aware of his post. There once was a copy of a file outlining the method on the B&S website, but it is gone now. When the old B&S alt forum was still active I did see one individuals scans of prints using this method. Very nice work, moody images printed with a mixture of Paynes Grey and Ivory Black originally shot on Kodak HIE. Thai person used the blotter technique and swore by it. His results seemed to support his claims. Unfortunately that is the only instance I'm aware of. Can blotter paper still be purchased?
