    thanx all, and I might take you up on that sixfingers...

    I realize that you can do a lot with polymer plates, but a lot of typefaces are still sloppy, and won't stand up to close scrutiny. Also, they are designed for offset, and suffer when you add letterpress ink gain.

    I was between adobe caslon and baskerville, but mercury text seem like a good way to go. It seems like it might be harder to um...acquire. Anyone have it?
