Marek and Robert,

Thanks! I think the Rives with the paper negs gives a nice effect for 
certain images.

Another thing I wanted to mention about the paper negs is that they you can 
make huge ones at less expense as well. I believe Keith Gerling uses them 
for his 20 x 24 and up...and I think he does not wax them. Maybe he can 
chime in here if he's listening.

Paul
