print flattening update
I bought mine new for cost in 1996 (1972 cost!) the store that had it was
happy to unload it since everyone had moved away from using FB papers and no longer needed presses to mount their RC prints and were instead using peel and stick mounts (cheaper in the short run and I use them myself for Ciba/Ilfochromes, since the emulsion is relatively fragile). So one day I just shot him a price, since his sticker code was an open secret I knew what he had paid for it, and walked out of there with a new Technal press. I still drymount some prints but use it mostly for print flattening chores. It's not a luxury when those big jobs come around! -- darkroommike "Lloyd Erlick" Lloyd at @the-wire. dot com wrote in message ...

February 24, 2006, from Lloyd Erlick, Well, a dry mounting press would be quite a luxury! Maybe eventually one will present itself for cheap. Stranger things have happened. I bought a water distiller for ten dollars, and it is dribbling into a bucket for me at this very moment. regards, --le ________________________________ Lloyd Erlick Portraits, Toronto. voice: 416-686-0326 email: net: www.heylloyd.com ________________________________ -- |
