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

[Diana Bloomfield]

Well, from what I've seen (and maybe I'm looking in all the wrong  
places), Inkpress is actually more expensive than Arista (at the 17x22  
size), and the Arista is definitely less expensive than Pictorico.   
Again, I'm looking only at 17x22 sizes; perhaps the price difference  
is not so great at smaller sizes?  I've bought Pictorico through B&H;  
B&S; and direct through Mitsubishi (who, I guess, owns it).  Arista  
I've bought only through Freestyle, and it's definitely less  
expensive, certainly at the 17x22 size, than Pictorico.  Check out the  
price differences at that size.  If it's minimal, and I've missed  
something, do post that for us.  Thanks, Jeremy.
