Digital BW, The Print

Robert,
> Its called a Mayer rod, darling. :-) Get a #22 with a half inch 
diameter rod

So where can one purchase a mayer rod? Diversified isn't selling to 
rank and file consumers. Paul Gardner Company sells an 8 inch wood 
for $73 + shipping! OUCH! For more information hyperlink to

haven't been there.

I've tested coating Hydrocote with a glass rod but this leaves an 
uneven coat. The rod is the same kind used to coat alternative 
process dispersals such as platinum/palladium prints. The Hydrocote 
enhaces these prints also.

Sure wish we could get this to work, it looks great and I yearn for 
those dense blacks and snappy prints.

Thanks,

Don Bryant
