Gary, I googled "chillers", but got some really weird answers that can't
possibly be what
you're using. Tell me more about this. I swore off Kodak, so I'm using D100,
FP4, some
HP-5 (7x17), Bergger, and a Kodak (oops, oops, OOPS) litho film that's
indestructible at
all temps and exposures. IE, for the most part, I'm trying to stay WAY below 75
degrees.
What sort of chiller do you use? Where did you get it?
