Pierre,
You have snatched the pebble from my hand. You may now pick up the molten red cauldron (with the dragon symbols on the sides that will sear into your flesh) and carry it over to the sacred door of total awareness.
The only thing I would change in your statement s that I would keep halftones
in that top white as well that fade into the gray. High mesh on both. 50-lpi on 305 should do. It sounded like you were saying to print that top white solid er something.
Be careful as you walk through that Cleavland snow in your bare feet.
