Hi Dick,
I'd be very interested in learning to use this material for monochrome
printing. Getting in touch with Berger is "one of those things" I've been
wanting to do for some time, but I never seem to get to it.
I devoted most of last summer and fall to getting a handle on carbon
printing using digital negs, (with some success, eventually, thanks to a
session with Gordon Chappel, and a lot of e-mails to Sandy King) but
platinum work is occupying most of my days (and nights).
Let me know if there would be a chance for a tutorial/workshop using the
ultrastable materials.
I'm on my way to teach a workshop with a friend in Carmel (we're an Amex
platinum card event..kind of silly, but it keeps in me in platinum
chemistry, and there's a lot of free food involved...However, last time we
had a real group of ditzes. A bleached blonde real estate agent from
Atlanta decided to soak her loaner Hasselblad at Point Lobos. The
Hasselblad rep went kind of pale...).
I'll be back Monday evening and look forward to your reply.

We are an agent for Ultrastable and can sell the material. It is not
exactly the same as carbon tissue though the results are similar, well
almost identical. It's a new polymer material and does not require all the
messing about that carbon requires. I think it is a close relative of the
Photopolymergravure stuff. Ultrastable only makes the material for color
work though you can by multi printing get the various monochrome browns,
blacks, blues or whatever. I have discussed with Berger the possibility of
making monochrome colors for one shot printing ala carbon. There is that
possibility, but because of the way modern businesses work, there probably
isn't much tolerance for taking several years to build a market. Anyone see
any fast market for monochrome Ultrastable?
I am off to Stuart Melvin's for a lesson in big neg making via Litho film
and PMK. Stuart says the new Litho stuff from Freestyle is excellent.
More later.
