Dan,
Sounds good, I could use the 2 stops, an hour and a quarter is a bit much.
Have you noticed a difference in print quality on the film depending on the
side printed on? I'd imagine the clay side does better. I also assume you
need to oil on the side opposite the ink, but it seems like you would need
to oil the clay side, forcing you to print on the acetate side, true?
Larry
