eric, you can remove the silver from used fixer with copper... some folks use sheets of it the silver copper happily trade places, it's not really an attack... don't know about the other process you have in mind, though jim Many thanks, Jim Kosinski Starlight Cameras PO Box 540 Cherry

there are always a few silver atoms in a used developer solution but nowhere near the amount you would find in used fixer copper is, in fact, used as a test for silver content after silver recovery to make sure the silver level is low enough for disposal Many thanks, Jim Kosinski Starlight

Don't feel bad, Chris. I went to check the site just as I got Andy's email and the offer was closed. Suspect that there may have been a deal outside and the seller withdrew his offer. That happens quite often on eBay... Cheers, Guy -- From: Chris Peregoy Too bad this is already over.

Too bad this is already over. I had just been checking this produce out and a similar one for inkjet printing. Here is a link to their web site. http://www.horizonsisg.com/metalphoto/ It went for $21.50 which was probably a steal. I guess I need to check my pinhole messages more often.
