Théodore-Henri Fresson

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Theodore-Henri Fresson (1865–1951) was an agronomist. He is the inventor of a photographic paper, Charbon-Satin, a type of carbon print.[1] It uses pigment rather than dye, and is generally stable.[2] The process has been kept secret but is still practised by members of his family.[3]
