RE: Stouffer 21 Step Wedges in Europe



Bogdan,

I am not sure what a circular step wedge is. Are you talking about the
project print scale that you lay on your print when your make enlargement?
The concept is about the same as the 21 step wedge, but the step wedge is
small and can be put on the side of a print when you make the print.

I think someone from Stouffer used to be on the list. I am not sure if he
still is. Anyway, you can find Stouffer product from
www.stouffer.net

and look under the transmission step wedges.
