Hi Mark,Won't the thickness of the glass cause the writing to be less than sharp, a bit diffuse?
Question: we don't use the term *sharpie* in Quebec. I know it is some sort of felt pen but could you define/describe it for me. Is it is very pointy felt pen or what?

Scott I did a run of postcards once which were used for a party invitation - I used the standard Ilford Postcards which are 4x6 , and I contact printed a 4x5 negative on them. I wrote a message with a sharpie marker on a piece of glass which I used to hold the negative and paper under the enlarger which resulted in white text on the 1" black border at the bottom of the image.

I wouldn't consider this for a standard print, but I think it'll work well with this particular image and is in line with the theme of the exchange. It's the first time I'm printing borderless aswell, so this is already an adventure.I'd like it to be slightly smaller than a signature (though similar in style), with white lettering contrasting the nearly black portion at the bottom of the print. Any idea's as to what I can do to the paper pre-exposure / development to achieve this? Thanks!
