Judy,
Well, you have brought this up many times in the past so don't expect
a different outcome this time around. My experience is that the
method you describe does not provide adequate sharpness for me. I get
much better results with a contact printing frame, if well adjusted
of course, and more consistent results again with a vacuum frame.
And that is just for the record cause I don't expect to change your
mind on the subject!!!
Sandy
