Thanks, guys! Robert, yes and just because there are more chemicals and testing time involved, and also the expense of a box of Ortho Plus, which is $140 for 25 sheets of 10x12. Mistakes get costly very quickly, and aggravation can approach dangerous levels I did print the same image from a digital positive and honestly, I can't say that there is enough quality difference to warrant the torture of using film to make photogravures. I had to try and may do more but that has more to do with curiosity and learning the process.
