Well, when I said Fresson were more difficult, I was combining the printing
and the coating process as a whole. It is true that I "assumed" that the
coating was difficult because I did not (and do not) know for sure, but even
from the description of the scan, I think we have a feel that it is not real
simple. Even if you design an equipment that does the multiple-layer coating,
it is still more complicated than coating a one-layer carbon tissue, isn't it?

But as I am typing this, I do see your point clearer. You are saying that if
you know how to coat Fresson paper, then the printing is easy, whereas even if
you know how to coat carbon tissue, the printing is still difficult; so the
net result is Fresson is still easier than carbon if you know how to coat. Is
that what you meant?
