Subject: RE: reproducing photos on stone and glass

Steve, thanks for your input. What do you mean by using a 75 mesh halftone
screen?
 Is it the resolution?
 It´s been quite a few years since I used Aicello photomask, when the topic
was fairly new. I remember having a few problems with the washout, also the
glue application had not been developed as it probably is today and the
shelflife was relatively short.

I would be very grateful if you could answer me the following questions:

1. which of the Rayzist photomasks do you recommend for photo reproduction?

2. which form of glue application and

3. do you or anyone have any experience with the Hand Washer. 

Of course any other tips are highly welcome, like photo cleanup, etc.

(I did try to get direct information from Rayzist by e-mail in January, but
never received a reply).

Thanks, Dieter
