Mr. King,
Wee little prints are just fine for the
right image, as are huge ones. I hope and trust no one ever curses you
and things you've devoted yourself to doing in an ugly and boorish
manner.
Regards,
Jon

Yes, is it not a fact about big. I am so tired at this fad with huge
prints I want to vomit. I hope the people making those huge prints never
sell a one of them and have to build new storage rooms to hold them until
their descendants destroy the atrocities.
Now, a nice 5X7 contact print, there is something to hold close to your
eyes and treasure.

Thanks Jon,
It's an American French Tool Press by Conrad
Machine Co. I got a table top model that will handle 18" wide
paper. It may also be a great pasta machine. Josephine Sacabo
had just gotten the big brother to this machine when I worked with her
last fall on polymer plate photogravure-it was great fun.
Unfortunately it takes 3-4 months to build and deliver.
I
think I got "big" out of my system with inkjet printing
hehehehe.
Best Wishes,
Mark Nelson

Congrats on the press Mark! What kind did you
get?
But 'little'? I'm doing 20x30" now and they are
available at 30x40"...and even larger, so I've been told.
Larger
plates present a new set of problems, but they are still alot of fun to
work with (more so when the pesky contact issues have been
overcome).
