Objet : Hoping to find Klaus Pollmeir
As folks here may already know, Autotype
has discontinued gravure tissue. They were the last manufacturers of
gravure tissue. This has left somewhere in the range of 300 to 500 gravure
studios and serious printers in a lurch. Not only will a truly great photo
process die, but hundreds of jobs are at stake as well as portfolios that are
in mid production.
Bostick & Sullivan has been making
carbon tissue now for about 5 years. We are trying to pick up where Autotype
left off and begin to produce gravure tissue. The problem is that gravurer
tissue is more than red or brown tinted carbon tissue and there are other
issues involved.
It is my understanding that Kalus Pollmeir
who was active here on this list 5 or 10 years ago may have gotten the
machines from Hanfstaengle in Germany when they closed down and may have gotten
their formulas and procedures as well.
If anyone knows how to contact Klaus, a lot
of people would appreciate it. He just may have the secrets we need.
If you are a gravure printer, know
something about gravure tissue or just have an interest in gravure, you can
follow our progress along with many of the world's noted printers at the
special section on the B+S carbon forum at:
