There was a technique
(don't know if it's still used) where an RC color print was split in half.
It turns out that the upper, emulsion-bearing RC surface can be peeled off
the paper part, with just a little paper stuck to it. Big labs that service
this trade would then hot-press it to an actual piece of artist's canvas, so
that it had the texture of a starving artist sale painting. There was
usually some sort of sales pitch that went with it, along the lines of
looking and lasting like a Rembrandt. Every photographer want's something
unique to sell, understandable, but the appearance of this stuff just simply
sucks!
