Gene,
I'm in last minute crunch to get to printer so no time for detail, but
PF#4 has article on paper negs, and it seems which kind to use is .... a
personal choice. For obvious reasons (lies flat, not fiber) most prefer
RC, but others prefer fiber base. How's that for definitive answer?
However, I'm curious when you say "large sheets". Do you have such a large
camera, or is it pinhole?
Judy
