Man, what an uber-amatuer mistake to make. I'm usually pretty good with
the ratios.
Thanks for all the info everyone, I guess I really did drop the ball

220+ prints for me to figure this out. Stupid learning curve.
Thanks again! |

Hi.
I did not know you are a member of EPS. I used to be, but now live in Ayr.
