Now, once I get back home from assignment it'll be a joy to put on red lights, music and dance the night away printing a few negs! :D Beats the chair in front of the computer! And the prints are, as you say, "a beauty to behold"? Here's the Splitgrade controller I bought with the coldlight head <http://www.heilandelectronic.de/html/english/products/splitgrade_main.htm> Even my kids prefer silver gelatin over Inkjet on HPR? go figure. All the best from a still sunny Paris!
