BTW, Velox was also used as a term for a print made from a screened

the term but perhaps it was from the use of high contrast Velox paper to
make the prints.
Right on both accounts, Richard. Producing/reproducing the screened
halftones required the use of high contrast materials, and back in the
day there was a Velox paper for this purpose.
I miss Velox continuous tone contact paper... I used to love working
with it. I believe I used an old Kodak contact printer with Velox as a
kid. BTW does anyone still have one of the old contact printer boxes?
