Re: solarplate
Jon (& Clay) , It may be that my memory is going back to the time when David Hoptman was first working with Peter and trying to resolve the problems of which aquatint screen (line screen or stochastic) would work best with digital negatives. I do remember that David Hoptman was involved. So perhaps you folks who have been working with polymer photogravure have since worked out that issue quite satisfactorily. Great!

David Hoptman uses that method and makes some beautiful images. It didn't seem to jive well with the Toyobo plates I am using for some reason, however. I'm much happier using the finer stochastic screens. Seems more like film grain. Thanks!
