John; Offlist. Glad you're ghaving successful results with Mike, but he's had a Hetchins project I submitted well over a year ago and I cannot even get a return phone, and there are others on the list with the same results. Mike's a good guy but a poor communicator. Least he could do is return calls to folks.

Best regards, Peter Naiman Wisconsin

Since the originals were screen printed (or so I'm told), how hard could it be? I'll find out, as I have solicited opinions from a lot of screen print kit makers. One comeback suggested that a pressure sensitive vinyl MASK could be applied, sprayed, allowed to dry some, then removed. Mike could certainly make masks, in fact, at some stage, he already does, right? For screen printing purposes, Mike's transfers could serve as masters. I know that Billy Rounds says my middle name is anal-retentive, but, hey, why not get as authentic as possible ESPECIALLY for the 'New M'?
