Aaron Reynolds has a few 24x36(or somewere in that range)print samples hung on the
store
wall,from his 6x7.
Done from scans and Epson printers. The detail is just beautiful. There is one from
Fuji
800 speed film,i
cannot see any grain.
Kevin, if your doing them yourself in a darkroom, i think the enlarger can be turned
around and
projected on to the floor for larger prints,but you probably know that already.:-)
