A few years ago visited Dr. Green and he had freezers full of the
Haefstaengl tissues. He was the sole U.S. distributer and was warring
with Haefstaengl because they were selling the tissues mailorder to
anybody within his territory. Dr. Green sells a book hes written on
monochrome and tricolor carbon and carbro. I would recomment it for anyone
interested in the processes.

The monochrome stuff might still be usable. I wouldn't buy too much of
the color material without testing it first.

Hanfstaengl no longer exists. Autotype, in the UK, is the last source
of gravure materials.
Ultrastable carbon materials, for color work, is still available.

I understand that Luminos Art Paper is suitable for many processes such as
carbro and bromoil since it is a matte, nonsupercoated paper. It's single
weight and about grade 3.

HELP
All requests should be addressed to listproc@vast.unsw.edu.au.
Welcome to alt-photo-process!
The purpose of alt-photo-process is the discussion of alternative
photographic processes. Alternative photographic processes traditionally
have been those that do not use the main stream silver gelatin process,
ie the printing paper that you buy at the photo shop. Gum Bichromate,
Platinum, Carbon Dye Transfer, Cyanotype, Photogravure, Kallitype,
Vandyke Brown, Color Xerox, are some processes that are currently thought
of as alternative processes.
The group should be free to talk on any unconventional photographic
process or modification to the standard silver gelatin process.
Photographers that embark on alternative processes usually have a
"Do It Yourself" attitude. This discussion group caters to that interest.
This list is run from a list processor, and any administrative requests,
and requests for archives or files, should be aimed at it
listproc@vast.unsw.edu.au. Try sending a message to this address with
the body "HELP".
The owner of this list is Steve Avery (stevea@vast.unsw.edu.au), so if
you cannot get any help from the list processor, please feel free to
email Steve direct.
