Jvee,

I enjoyed your web page - loverly work!   Unlike the conventionally sought 
air-dried, silver print Holy Grail I am on a quest for the fine art print 
look such as your carbon prints. Do you feel you have reached that with 
your quad output?  By that I mean surface, material quality, authority - 
not necessarily similarity in appearance to carbon prints.
