see your point, Mark, that's why I am also in alternative photography (like gum 
printing, cyanotype, Ziatype etc..) but as far as I am printing silver gelatine 
I rather contemplate during printing, not mixing chemistry

(actually I mix my chemistry for SG at my work, but for alt. work I mix 
(partly) at home hence the Ohaus..)

Best,

Cor
