[pure-silver] Re: Printing emulsion side up. Why?

Hi,

Just wanted to thank everybody who contributed answers and information 
regarding my query "Printing emulsion side up. Why?"

It was a great learning experience.

And the Pure-silver list is far from dead.  On the contrary, when the 
need arises, everybody rises to the need.  Thanks.

Cheers,
Bogdan
