and in fact... I'm not used to self-promotion like some guys, but John's
message obliges me to tell you what R. Namias said about resinotype.
This invention arose from the observation that he got a reversed image while
inking an oilprint with an ink "made too thick" (give me some time and I'll
find the exact citation).
As I never tried to reproduce his findings, I can't tell you if this is true
or not. What I know is that resinotype, like described by John, works.

> Alberto Novo uses the Resinotype process which seems to work on a similar principal to the positive/ positive action described by Henk and noticed by others. Resinotype uses a powdered pigment/ rosin mix in applying colour to a gelatine matrix in a similar way that Oil pigment can produce a positive image given certain conditions,( but still something of a mystery, at present). The pigment powder adheres in proportion to the hardened areas of the gel coating after UV exposure THROUGH A POSITIVE.
