First, it was good of Dick to share the article which I can say I enjoyed
reading.
However, in addition to the printing speed there appears to be several
ideas that don't quite measure up with contremporary knowledge.
As to color . . .

The color discussion is at the end of the paper. Though I agree with
Katherine's post, one aspect seemed interesting. Do the statements on
what I will call color saturation hold water? My interpretation is that
he indicates that replacing the black pigment in the 4th printing with a
mix of the three primary colors, to creat black, will enhance the
print's colors? Anyone with experience/comment?
