Re: Carbon Printing and Ultravoilet Light

Hi John,

     Jan Arnow describes the double transfer method.

    Here's the best link about carbon printing I've found:

http://search.netscape.com/ns/boomframe.jsp?query=carbon+printing&page=1&offset=0&result_url=redir%3Fsrc%3Dwebsearch%26requestId%3D11104eaa75cc17b1%26clickedItemRank%3D5%26userQuery%3Dcarbon%2Bprinting%26clickedItemURN%3Dhttp%253A%252F%252Frmp.opusis.com%252Fcarbon%252Fcarbon.html%26invocationType%3D-%26fromPage%3DNSCPIndex2%26amp%3BampTest%3D1&remove_url=http%3A%2F%2Frmp.opusis.com%2Fcarbon%2Fcarbon.html

Wow! that's a lengther URL!

     I'll have to get a copy of Sandy King's book as well.
