With regard to the use of fixed out unexposed photographic paper as the
final support for a carbon print. I have read (Handbook of Photography,
Henny and Dudlely 1939 ) that only non supercoated papers are suitable
for this.
It is not clear ( to me) whether the various comments made by members of
the group on this topic, refer to non supercoated papers only, or to
both types.
If it is possible to use supercoated paper as the final support, I shall
be delighted, as I have a drawer full of ancient fibre based and resin
coated paper that I would prefer to use rather than to throw into the
dustbin.
Alex.
