It shouldn't surprise people that Graphic Chemical will be at SGC too.  I'd 
be disappointed if Baren members didn't stop by and at least say hello. I've 
just gotten word that there will be a very large print created at Print Gumbo 
- - printed with a steam roller. Anyone interested in participating or getting 
more info should contact John Scott at Xavier University in New Orleans. 
Contact him at jtscott@xula.edu for more information.
It was good to see some of you in Portland last week - to renew some 
friendships and to meet others for the first time face to face.

Perhaps we could drive to the New Orleans Conference. Dan might want to go
too.
I am put off of flying these days.
I live in Sarasota, Dan lives in Tampa. I think the three of us are it , for
Florida.

Jeanne

By the way, I named my new cat, Princess.

Sorry Wanda, did not have Princess's off line e mail address. (I know you
will forgive me????)

Benefit prints here I come.  The plate is ready, the paper is ready and the
ink is here!!!!
I knew it would be worth the wait.  This ink from graphic chemical is
gorgeous, the color is perfect.  I am assured that when I go to use it that
it will be beautiful.  A plug to them and what a wonderful catalog.  You
have a customer , I will be using these products from now on.
Yes thank you it was worth the wait.  Wanted to say this to the forum
because this it truly a wonderful product, thanks

interested!  Here are the details, sent from Matt Brown ...

Subject: [Baren 15993] Solar plates 

John,
They do  work  with waterbased inks, but recommended ink is oil based
etching ink. I did use damp paper with no problems. The plates are hardened
with uv light after sensitizing and washing out with water. They will keep
for a long time, wiped down with baby oil and stored in the dark away from
light. I am going to use them for awhile and will post info after I work
with them...they are so different from woodblock and linoblock that there is
no comparison. But I will let everyone know eventually how I like them.

> are solor plates different from polamer plates?  pol. plates don't work

well
