January 24th I posted a question about how to make an internegative (or interpositive), non digitally, of an 8x10 negative that would allow me to make an enlarged "negative print" of an oak tree. I...

Thank you, Randy. It was nice to see the example image you provided--quite a nice one! Robert

Bill, Thanks for the heads-up that I would end up printing with an inter-positive that would need to be placed emulsion side up in the negative carrier (I think that's what you've warned me of). ...

XKAES, Thank you very much for the information and your time. I wish you the best with your 1941 print/negative project. The ones I've done like that were tricky not only due to the number of...

Hello all. I need your help. After 40 years of "regular" printing, I finally have need to print a subject as a negative, as Paul Caponigro and others have done. I have a friend with a large ranch...

I'll have a go with my HC 110, then. I have some Ilford Ortho copy film on the way from B&H. Thanks to all again for your guidance, and thanks too for the
attached detail images above.

After all these years in the darkroom, it sounds like I owe myself the experience of doing this film-to-film, to pay my dues, so to speak. If that proves successful some of you will also have peeked...

I have a 4x5 Velvia transparency (positive) I want to make a 4x5 black and white negative from so I can enlarge it to make a black and white print in the usual way in my darkroom. I need some...

Hello Brian and thanks for your input. Hard to see in any image I could attach since they are very thin lines that even when seen on a 16x20 print would not immediately catch the eye (appearing on...

Hopefully some of you will have the definitive answer for this frustrating enigma: thin, usually long lines of high density appearing on 4x5 negatives, in this case 2013 exp. date Tmax 100...

"The prints, most likely, will never be in better than their present state. They are what they are, and possibly not unique in their condition to other works produced over a long career. It might be...

A few days ago I met a person who was a model for Imogen Cunningham back in the 60's. She has 15 or so dry mounted prints that Imogen gave her in that era, that were subsequently stored under poor...

Gem, Ic-racer, John, Kevin, William and others interested,

Re my failed Zone VI cold light head, I want to get back to you who were so helpful regarding what I have learned/done that may be useful...

Kevin,

Thanks for jogging my memory about the V54. I remember now that it came into existence shortly after I had already invested in an 8x10 Aristo non-vc head that didn't come with it, and then...

I want to thank you all again. This is such a great community of users--I certainly plan to be more active in it in the future. I will sleuth that out with a tech person at Calumet, Gem, thank you...

Kevin,

Thank you very much for the very complete information regarding Louise. I emailed her earlier and look forward to her reply, which of course, if received, I will pass along to forum users...

My thanks to both Gem Singer and ic-racer for your answers. Gem, I will contact Calumet tomorrow--thanks. As regards the Chromega suggestion, there's an entire Chromega enlarger for sale on ebay...

Thanks for that suggestion. I'm not familiar with the Chromega D but I guess it would fit my D5 "Pro-Lab 4x5" even though it is about 1976 vintage. Were there issues with the Chromega D that you...

The Zone VI VC cold light head on my D 5 stopped producing "hard" light as of yesterday. Produces yellow light as usual. I have a temporary fix with my old Aristo non vc head but...now I turn to...

Eric,

I tested the new VCCB, which is coated by Ilford, and found it very similar to Ilford Warmtone. The Ilford is slightly warmer--that can be seen comparing the paper bases. They also exhibit...
