Hello me old mate,
I would like to take part as would my friends and students. However I will
be away in Spain again from May to middle August. My friend Alex Chater and
I have a brand new process a derivative of Temperaprint on the stocks called
Temperapos. Which I think could be of interest. Early September would be
ideal.
Pete
