Hans Nohlberg & Chia N-Loefqvist,
We have just started marketing after over seven years of R&D. Our process
is a single transfer 4-color carbon on Melinex (a white polyester base).
The base was selected for it's permanence (it was decided based on the fact
that the pigments would outlast paper unless properly stored) and
dimensional stability for registration. The goal was to achieve a
permanent alternative to conventional photographic prints. The prints are
not only beautiful, but virtual time capsules.
>Anyhow, recently we had a big international photo fair here in Gothenburg
>(Sweden). For the first time people could see prints such as IRIS InkJet,
>Evercolor, UltraStable and *true* carbons at the same time, side by side.
>It seems that the interest for this kind of prints has grown or, at least,
>become better known, much thanks to the printing development in digital
>imaging:>)
Wow! Wish I could have been there instead of stuck in the semi-darkroom.
>BTW we have seen wonderful UltraStable prints on water color paper made by
>Marc Bruhat, Le Sillage, Paris as well as by Charles Berger (shown recently
>in Finland).
What were the subjects? Would love to have seen them.
>We have been told that in Italy (Milan) there is someone
