Argon,

No this was a bit of a red herring I have done an in depth study of this
process, the secret is in the coating of the paper a secret machine was
used. The man that has the real secret apart from the Fresson family is Luis
Nadeau who has/had a machine he bought from Jose Ortis Echague. A picture of
this machine and Echague operating it can be found  in a book published by
Gordon Fraser 1979.
