[alt-photo] Re: Yupo as a support

Yupo is the standard support for the temperaprint process (dichromate / eggs
/ pigment). Gum and casein (alternative colloids to egg) do not stick
effectively whereas eggs do. No idea whether pt/pd will work with it without
some preliminary layer to give tack - I'd be surprised but let us know!

Subject: [alt-photo] Yupo as a support

Hey all...

Just a quick shout to tell you about a synthetic paper called Yupo I'm going
to try as a support for thin pt/pd papers, such as Bienfang 360 and the
Japanese tissues. It's available in almost any art store, comes in a pad,
many sizes. Made of 100% polypropylene, I'm just wondering what I should use
to attach the paper to the support? Maybe those round plastic paper clips...

Has anyone tried Yupo for this purpose?

Hope you're all having a great print day!

Paul
