Re: Dr. Perrera (What Is It???)

Maybe I am asking my questions in reversed order (should have asked about what
it is first instead of price info.) For some reason I never received the first
message that started this whole thread. What I received afterward were some
discussion about trade secrets, what to / not to reveal, etc. which I wasn't
really interested in since I believe an inventor has all the right to decide
what he wants to do with his/her invention.

About the process, I had the impression that Dr. Perrera had invented 2
processes. One is continuous-tone or at least appear to be continuous-tone,
and another one has the Fresson pointillism look. Is this correct?

About the service, I first had the impression that he wasn't doing the
Fresson-look prints anymore but was doing his heliochrome. The latest message
seemed to suggest it was the other way around.

About the materials, I learned that it can be printed on Bockingford paper. I
assume it can be on other paper or substrate as well. But what about the
colorant? Is this a pigment-based print or dye-based print?

Thanks in advance!
