Re: Charcoal Prints?

Jim,

It might be something special, or they could just be making a big deal out
of prints on Luminos "Charcoal" paper. It's a thick, expensive, textured
silver-gelatin paper with a unique look. I've seen shows where prints on it
were presented as though it were more than just another manufactured silver
paper with an unusual surface.---Carl

Subject: Charcoal Prints?
I went to a gallery today in Chicago (not Catherine Edelman's gallery where
there are some photogravures) and saw some "charcoal" prints.  They were
somehow related in the writings sitting around to Fressons.  Since my spouse
liked them, I thought I should find out the process.  Anyone have any
exprience or know what it is?  Is it carbon printing?  TIA.  Jim
