Yes, thanks Andre -- I meant tricolor as in CMY or RGB... but anyway the
fella is putting us on -- he names 4 colors. That's quadricolor !
Some printers do RGB with other than the classic thalo, quinacridone &
yellow paints... & I have some thoughts about that, tho at present I find
the differences of order, strength, repeats and brushing out of areas more
than enough & just pray for control (or let's call it gifts)... Sometimes
I do add an area of actual earth color, but that's supposed to be a
refinement.
This incidentally is at present all from one monochrome neg -- "fake"
tricolor.
PS. to Keith: what brand ivory black are you using? I'm still trying to
find one will work for me...
