Luis, Hans,

Thanks for the information about Mylar. I will give it another
try, eliminting the glycerine, and storing the tissue as soon
as it is dry.

As for color balance, yes, I did get the 3-color set balanced, and
have made quite a number of small color carbons from the set. Have
also made some larger (14X20") tissue for carbro work but have not
had the chance to get around to printing anything yet. The pigments
I used for this set are incredibly concentrated in comparison to
what I used in the past, requiring only about 5g of pigment per
1000 ml of gelatin solution, and they are also very transparent.
