Cleavis,

Thanks for the links. I have not had the oportunity to see many examples but
it is a wonderful medium. Too bad more people do not work in it. It is very
well suited for digital output using Photoshop to create the positive film
for exposing the resist.

With this output we know it is archival and has stood the test of time.
