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?

Cheers,
bogdan

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.

Hi All,

I'm participating in an APUG postcard exchange, and
would like to
'title' the face of the image near the bottom,
incorporating it into the
print itself.  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 as
well, 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!

Scott
