Oh man, she's just an artist!!! I haven't bookmarked a page in ages since google is only a few words of typing away, but that page is on my bookmark. I just got a "print dryer" in the hope to get that sheen. I suppose it may be pointing to the prints not completely have the fixer washed off or some other defects with my techniques, but I tried a couple times, and there are "unsheened" ovals :-( The shine is really nice. Anyone has any ideas? Mark Rabiner? The instructions mention" ferrotype polish" but googling shows that it may not be practical to do anymore? *back to weighing down the prints for the moment* On Fri, Dec 11, 2009 at 8:57 AM, Sue Pearce <bs.pearce at cox.net> wrote: > WOW!
