I've been out of touch with the group for the past few weeks, due to an
unhappy experience with Windows95, and the the consequent loss of the
data on my hard disk. (So much for new technology!!)
I have a question for the paper experts. I have been given a large
quantity of something called Carolina Card. It is a 200 gms/sq metre
white card, clay coated and calendered on both sides to give semi matt
surfaces. I believe that it is a printing stock material.
I intend to try it as a substrate for cyanotype, gum bichromate, carbon
printing etc. Has anyone any experience of such a material, and would it
be suitable for the above processes?
Also, not strictly alt-process, but does anyone have any information on
the solubility of Chlorohydroquinone? I can't get it to dissolve (6.0
gms/litre) in a std paper developer type formulation without the
addition of ethyl alcohol.
Alex.
