I have two prints that I was told were printed using the Fresson process at
their lab (purchased from a travelling Fresson exhibit). Both prints were
from the exhibit, and thus were framed when I received them and I have not
taken them apart since. The comment above suggests that some designation
may be included with authentic Fresson prints - is that something I should
expect to find if I look on the backs of these prints?

BTW, one of these prints "The Great Cloth" by John Stewart (1983), is
special no matter what the process - clearly an example of what earlier
posters meant by the special beauty of a Fresson print.
