Michael Dickey has sent the following message which may well be of
interest to some of the members-
"I am using the computer to make screened images of my photographic collages using a
very neat piece of software (Andromeda #3screens) that is capable of producing 300 line
random halftones which can be output to film. Have been working with Keith Howard's image
on intaglio method for a few months. Find the possibilities very exciting. I would like to
credit Rossilind Harrison for her article "photoshop for photoetch" on the
Printworks Magazine home page." For more info contact Michael Dickey, I.M.S. at mdickey@lib.drury.edu

Copy of letter from Martin Lawrence:
David,
Thanks for all your recent information. I wonder whether any I.M.S. member can help us? We
want to buy a mezzotint rocking machine and we are making enquiries about a machine
supplied by Sakura of Japan. Has anyone used this particular machine and if so, what do
they think of it? Are there any alternative machines around?
Best wishes
Martin
