Jack,
Thanks for the info. I checked with Evercolor about their pigments and
was told to contact Utra-Stable based in Santa Cruz California. This is
the Mr. Berger you referred to, and I forget his first name now. But
it isn't Michael. The number for ultra-stable is 408-427-3000. They
supply CKYK carbon "film" (as he calls it) for what seems like high prices.
A box of 25 sheets of 10x12 in one color (including black) sells for $55.
He also provides one day workshops for $250.00.
I think I'm going to pass on the stuff since I'm not terribly interested in
making black or four-color carbon transfers. But, if it proves too difficult
to make my own pigment paper - I'll give it a shot and report back. BTW-
still looking for some advice with current materials known to work with
carbon.

Gordon- thanks for the info. I checked with the University of California
library and they don't have the book. I'll keep trying, and when I find
it - I'll let you know how it is. Though with the title - I wonder about
its scholarship :)
Bye,
Adam
