[pure-silver] Re: was: Argento-ferrotype prints Now: emulsion-to-go?

Thanks, Richard. I wonder how much it would cost to coat my house, then  
project a negative of a white house with black shutters...? Naw -  
probably cheaper to just paint the house. I *do* have a couple of more  
reasonable projects in mind, though, so I appreciate the info. The  
Rockland sounds exactly like what my friend was using (except for  
packaging, but that may have changed in 30+ years.
