[alt-photo] Re: Steichen book on color

[Tomas Sobota]

Christina,

I have this reference about the Hichro process:

"RENDALL, H. E.: "Dye-Printing Processes," Brit. J. Color Sup., 23 (June 7,
1929), p. 21. Describes Sanger-Shepherd's and Ives' Hichro (imbibition)
proc-
esses, the Raydex relief method; also Jos-Pe, Pinatype, and Dyebro
processes. "

It seems that it has been used in the movies industry, but I don't have
access to this book.
