Re: What to Call Full Color Gum Prints

Mark,

I would say this, I don't personnally care about the name(s) one could give to a subset of the possible variants one could achieve with the dichromate-colloid system. Gum is already a subset of this in some way and the dichromate-colloid system itself is a subset of alternative photographic process which is a subset of the photographic system, etc. The problem would soon be the limit of significant names more then anything else. I can understand the need for some people to be part of something as small as possible like a tribe or of some sort of extented familly. This most be part of our genetic heritage somehow and if enough people decide they need to create a new process name, well good for them. I just say that I don't feel any necessity for a new name.

Regards
Yves

  Subject: What to Call Full Color Gum Prints

  Recently there was a discussion about what to call full color gum prints.

  Kate reminded me of a post that appeared not too long ago on this list and asked why I had not commented on it.... at the time I didn't want to embarrass the person posting....though I did find the computer translation of his post priceless.

  However, in light of the recent discussion about what to name these prints, and Joe's great post about standardizing discussions, how bout this?
