[alt-photo] Re: Pictorico

[Paul Viapiano]

Just look at a bright light reflection in the coating of the Arista, don't 
touch it.

Shiny and crisply defined reflection is the backing side, and the duller 
looking side is the printing side. I reflect an overhead light source to 
determine the printing side.

I've had no problems with the Arista at all, have never seen any flaws 
either. Other OHPs I've tried have had various problems, especially with ink 
adhesion.
