RE: Contact Printing Frames

Loris,

Thanks for the link; that was exactly what I've been looking for. I can
get most of the supplies that Sullivan listed fairly inexpensively, so I
think I'll go with that.

The only thing I'm going to have to order is a vacuum pump. Does anyone
have any recommendations there? I have no idea what I should be looking
for.
