Re: Alt-emulsion-projection
Sam, I'm curious about the glowing reports you mentioned, since I've heard nothing but bad things (especially on this list) about cyanotype rex. I would be interested to hear the other side, though...could you point me in the direction of some good, unbiased articles/reviews/etc. about the rex process?
