******ABOUT THE PAPER - YOU CAN PRINT ON DRY PAPER IF YOU WISH, I LIKE USING THE WET PAPER BECAUSE YOU CAN SEE THE IMAGE THROUGH THE BACK AND IT HOLDS TO THE PLATE A LITTLE BETTER.  I RECOMMEND TRYING SOME OF BOTH.  YOU WILL NEED TO TEAR YOUR 22X30 SHEETS OF PAPER INTO 4 PIECES.  THE SMALL PLATES ARE APPROXIMATELY 8X10 OR ODD SIZES BUT WILL FIT NICELY ON A QUARTER SHEET.  I WILL HAVE SOME LARGE PLATES AVAILABLE ALSO.  IN THE AFTERNOON YOU MAY WANT TO TRY A LARGE PRINT, IF SO, THEY WILL TAKE A FULL 22X30 SHEET.  I’M NOT SURE HOW MANY PRINTS WE’LL BE DOING BUT SOMEWHERE BETWEEN 15-20, IF YOU ARE FAST YOU MAY DO MORE.  PRINTING HAS A WAY OF MULTIPLYING BECAUSE OF OVERPRINTING AND GHOST IMAGES.

I recommend shopping at Binders, Pearls, or  Utrecht
