Digital BW, The Print

Benoit,

This sounds really wonderful. I wish I could see an example.

A couple of questions. What is your cost for getting to that first 24x30
print and the cost of additional prints?

Where did you get the texturing plate you mention? Or did you have custom
made? How is it used?

Thanks,

Martin Wesley
