Digital BW, The Print

The place is Laird Plastics.  I'm in Northern California so I went to the one
in San Jose, CA.  There does seem to be a website  http://www.lairdplastics.com/
and there are other locations.  Looking on their website, the prices seem to
be somewhat higher but I don't know why.

I went directly there with the plan to buy big sheets and cut them up myself.
When I explained what I was doing and that it would be nice to fit them in
my car, they said they'd be glad to just cut them to size.  So I don't really
know if the cutting was a special favor or standard practice.  But in any case
the acrylic was about $51 for a 51x100 sheet last October.  
BTW, its Lucite L Cast Acrylic with a paper cover.
