RE: First try gravure
Hi Mark, I knew someone would catch that! Yes - exposure unit w/ vacuum frame. Your points in other posts about other transparency stock and using the sun are all well taken, Mark. But for optimal consistency and quality I'd put my time and money into OHP and a good exposure unit w/ vacuum frame. Jon D. Mark Andrews wrote: Date: Tue, 06 Feb 2007 21:42:41 -0800 From: "D.

You mention the contact issue, but then say the solution is an exposure unit. Did you mean an exposure unit with a vacuum frame? Or did you mean something different.

Contact is the most common problem with this process. It comes especially troublesome when one goes beyond 5x7. Patching is certainly indicative of contact issues. When I wanted to go larger than 8x10 was when I finally bit the bullet and found an exposure unit. Best wishes, Jon |
