Hi Peter and list:

I believe that was Keith Howard who had a table and information about his
process at the College Art Association Conference in NYC a year ago
February. Somewhere I have notes I took at the time, but you
probably have more complete & up-to-date information. It was intriguing
(based on a floor wax from the supermarket as I recall, Golden Glow, or
something like that). I just put the info on the back burner of my mind,
because, like Mae West said, "so many processes, so little time," but I
had the impression that the continuous tone capability was limited, or
there was something else that suggested this wasn't going to be the
replacement for my beloved gum printing. (As I don't expect any process
that coats paper with two layers of polymer to be, though .......)
Meanwhile and HOWEVER, I'm sure we all hope you go to that workshop and
keep us posted!
