Hi Katherine,
I seem to be missing so many points lately, I feel like a stealth pin cushion—
perhaps it is pointless to endeavor to perservere.
OK, I understand what you are saying.
I would tend to agree in that I would calibrate a specific emulsion—this
should optimize the printing.
Does this gum thing work pretty much the same here in the US and it does in
Great Britain?
Best Wishes,
Mark Nelson
