Re: [Digital BW] Re: Bronzing/haloing...what to do???

I tried that but the paper is so soft it pleats. The transfer was kind of
cool...anyhow it is something to do with wet ink prints. Another tip for
drying, I put them (the obvioulsy wet ones) on top of my dehumidifier and
they dry in a day or so (unless on plastic)
