That is a laydown procedure. I have coating machines. There is a
huge difference in things like viscosity etc. and then we want to match up the G32
and G25. I now have access to the McGraw Colorgraph archives, and there is the
goldmine! Dick McGraw’s formulas are there.

I have the book "Copper plate photogravure-
demistifying the process", a classic by David Morrish and Marlene
Maccallum. The chapter about preparing home-made gravure tissue is written by
... guess who? Yes, Sandy King. I don't have first-hand experience in this
process, but reading the chapter one would think that gravure tissue is the
same as carbon tissue. Why not ask Sandy?

Thanks Judy. I've gotten his address, or at least what some
think it is,
it's a university email so likely correct. I have an inquiry in to him now.
I don't know why my Google didn't pop him up.
I anyone here has any information on the making of gravure tissue, I and a
lot of other folks would appreciate having it forwarded.
Thanks again Judy,

My system seems to have eaten Sullivan's recent query, tho for what it's
worth I note the following 11-year old info (from Post-Factory #2):
There's an article by Pollmeier about reprinting Drtikol.... He
(Pollmeier) thus sort of re-invented carbon after it had sunk into total
desuetude...
Klaus Pollmeier's data as of October 1998:
address:
Muehlenfeld 43 S-45470, Muelheim-Ruhr, Germany
[Is that the Muelheim that's just across the field from Basel Switzerland?
I seem to recall something like that... they called it "drei lande
ecke."]
Telephone +49-208-431051, Fax: +49-208-433937
e-mail kpollmeier@compuserve.com
(I think, however, compuserve is no more ?)
He worked with Czech artists Jan Splichal and Vaclave Kirasek, who might
still be around & have some suggestions. Also at the time he was
teaching
photograpy at Anhalt University of Applied Sciences in the Dessau School
of Design. And owned Fine Print Studios, mail order source of alternative
photog. materials.
One of the above might provide a clue, if not the ding an sich.
