I believe Sullivan recommends the Ultrafine inkjet RC paper. At least that
is what he showed to me a couple of years back when I visited the carbon
works in Santa Fe. I just missed the massive workshop with Sandy King by
about a week! 

The results were ok but I wasn't blown away with the prints either, though I
understand he (Dick) likes to use that paper for beginners since the
emulsion side is so porous it makes single transfers easier.

Look on the B&S carbon forum for more info.

Marek, I am interested in your use of "foolproof support".  I have read in
the Sullivan PDF of the use of "microporous" inkjet paper but have failed to
find any locally.  Can you please let us know the brand of your inkjet
support.

Thanks in advance ... John
