  1. Re: Comments on the New Weston Diploma Parchment

    Richard,

    Didn't I give you some of the original product to try? If not lemme know. ;)

  2. Re: Best Epson desktop printer for B&W these days...?

    FWIW I had a 4800 - fabulous printer - but found I was printing less than 100 prints a year, probably closer to 60 and most of those are inkjet negs for platinum printing. I was spending more money...
