The stuff I saw didn't appear to be duratrans, which usually has a 
white but translucent base. This stuff was a clear film base, the 
grain was only visible with a loupe and was very small, would only be 
an issue if enlarging, if then.
Making contact negs with Epsons introduces the very part of the 
process I suspect needs to be eliminated, dither, not contiuous tone.

Sorry just joking, Steve is a friend and has helped me a lot. I just 
wanted his url to show up in several more posts and to give him a 
little start.
