[alt-photo] Re: Yupo as a support

[Paul Viapiano]

Yes...as I said in my original post, going to try using Yupo as a support 
for thin papers, in the developing and clearing baths.

The word "support" is used in carbon printing to mean the final resting 
place of the image, so I guess there was some confusion. Maybe I should have 
said "carrier".

Francis, can you email me a photo or diagram of how you're mounting. I don't 
understand how your "torn scraps" attach to the actual artwork and then to 
the mat board.

Thanks...!

Paul
