[alt-photo] Re: Arista II OHP transparencies/gum

[Diana Bloomfield]

I did try Inkpress, and that was actually one of those where every 3rd  
transparency was damaged in some way, right out of the box.  So I've  
been pleasantly surprised by the Arista, where every one has been  
perfect, and it's also a little heftier than the Inkpress-- not sure  
that makes any real difference, but I like a transparency that's not  
so thin.  And the Arista is a pretty good price.
