Hi Judy,

Point taken, I am however convinced of the importance of sharing
information, and just like alternative processes, ultra-large format
photography is not easy, so I don't think that it's going to become a
"fad"...
Now, for all of you who think that this is off topic, I'll just end this
conversation here, and I'll get back to you when I have trouble with my
oilprints...

Cheers,

PJ
