Thanks, Joe. That's what I thought, but when I kept reading about 'printing
out' papers, the articles always seem to refer to pre-coated papers. Even
though I was coating my own ziatypes, I thought they would still be images on
'printing out paper,' mainly because--as you said--the image appears with no
additional development needed. Anyway...thanks so much. You answered my
question! Happy New Year!
