Regina & Donna,

To try and speed up your testing process, and hopefully identify 
some of the problem you are having, I made some changes to our 
web site.  I added a sample photo you can download.  This should 
give you a reference point for your own photo setup.

Take a look:

Hello, 
Found you all today on a first time visit to rec.crafts.glass &  via a
message from an English guy called Paul answering someone's  query on
pressure pots.We [my partner & I]  run a small hot shop outside Melbourne
in OZ, blow glass & make some sculpture. Info on most aspects of using &
applying photo resist  locally appears to be very limited & closed. Rather
than waste everybodies precious time, could anybody direct me to relevant
archival back issues /texts/etc  so I can read up on some FAQs. Have
sandblaster, pressure pot, using Alumium oxide G 150-180, the usual in
terms of scanner, laser printer, Adobe  [have to do some serious work on
that one!] & a small Photoabrasive developing unit, -just arrived last
week.  Advice, thoughts, simple pitfalls to be avoided for a newbie  will
be gratefully received. Been fiddling with stock art decals to get a feel
for what its all about. By the way, keep in mind what you may take for
granted in the USA & UK as 'corner store material' is not necessarily the
case here in Oz.   Cheers RK

Hi Folks, 
Well done Roderick and Rayzist! had a feeling you'd
come up with the secret! of photograph
transfer. Guess Donna will be pleased.
Me too. Think I'll try out a piccy and see.

Rick.
