Again sub par compared to Mr Hawkins photos
but the best I was able to get in several
attempts.

I must say you don't have a lot of depth of
feild this close up.

They are the 5.3 thou lines at the center
of Adams circles. I didn't bother doing
horizontal and verticle lines in the photo
as they looked identical on the laser
printer.

Also I must say the lines have more fuzz/
random dot noise around them than they did
6 months ago. Might be a sympton of an
ageing transfer roller or something.
