Re: Inkjet negatives and Van Dyke Brownprints

My thanks to all of you, but especially to Joe, for sharing this
discussion on line...as I started following this thread early this
morning, I was hoping and praying that all of you would be your usually
loquacious selves (I MEAN THAT NICELY!) and ignore the last bit of Joe's
initial message ("I'd like to compare notes onlist or off with anyone
else using similar materials...")...with the result that I now have a
nice compilation of data from which to start my own experiments with
digital negatives...I've just learned this morning that I will given the
use of a small amount of exhibit space here in the Library where I earn
my keep. Time to get to work!

Thanks to all of you for sharing this information with the whole list!
