Re: peeling off emulsion and more. . .

Hello list,

This is my first post.  I am taking alternative processes as a student of
photo at Ohio U.  Anyway.  This is addressing the question concerning mid
range digital equipment.
I have recently purchased an Epson Perfection 1640 SU flatbed scanner with a
transparancy adaptor to scan negatives.  I coupled that with an Epson 1270
Stylus color inkjet printer.  You can purchase both for under $800.00.
I am very happy with the quality of my images and of the negs I can make to
do contact printing.(cyanotype etc.)
The printer allows for wide format printing (up to 13x19) as well as
archival inks which Epson claims will last 20 years or so on matte (their
brand) paper if not exposed to direct sun.  Just my .02.
I love this list by the way...
