Re: tempraprint why yupo

Barry this is one of the amazing properties of the Temperaprint emulsion it
seems to be amazingly robust i have seen Temperaprints that Peter Fredrick
has made on Glass and i have seen Temperaprints that Hellena Cleary has made
on Onyx.Using Yupo as a support allows very quick working,usually the
emulsion coats are dried with a hair dryer using this technique with a
porous support would need different working methods.But be warned
Temperprinting is infectious.Dennis Klinker
