Eric, I'm not sure I'd agree with you on the control issue versus Evercolor which combines the best of both worlds, it seems. And the Evercolors are actually cheaper than dye transfers. I remember a while back trying to find material on doing DTs and the one book I found was dismal. Then I heard the Kodak had discontinued all the supplies for doing them. Are they still available? I believe health and safety was an issue. After seeing an Evercolor or twenty, I believe that is the finest system for printing currently existing. The only effort is writing the check! donal - -- Donal Philby San Diego www.donalphilby.com
