Ever notice the small arch at the top of Shiprock?

I visited a few years ago and took open roads to a point where I could not travel any farther. Never had an issue. I was surprised to find...

The Fletcher 2100 is the mat cutter to get in my opinion. Good used ones can be purchased for about $700.

As for 8 ply mat - I think it is over kill most of the time but if you have to use it pay...

Probably not with the standard blade. For 8 ply you will need to use Blade #271.

+1 for the Zeiss lens cleaning fluid, just put it on the tissue not the glass. Fogging the glass with your breath is also an option.

No one in their right mind sum scans 8x10 firm @ 9600 PPI.

Thanks for the quick reply.

If I've understood properly this modification only affects scans for 35mm film format. Is that correct?

Where did you source the extension tubes?

I have to thank a forum member who kindly sold me 20 packs of Kodak lens cleaning tissue; marked on the reverse as being manufactured by EK.

I can now sleep at night! :)

I'll also look for some...

I own 2 Scitex 340 scanners, 1 fully functional and 1 for spare parts. Does anyone know positively that the Scitex 340 can be modified in this manner?

I appreciate the post by SURF but...

Well FWIW, I mainly use them for cleaning my reading glasses. I don't often need to clean lens surfaces.

Since the micro-fiber clothes aren't regarded as disposable I don't feel they are a replacement for KLCP.

Don

Thanks Oren. Your observations about source of manufacturer echo others experiences regarding Tiffen though my remaining stock of KLCP is labeled made by EK.

I just placed 10 packs of the Tiffen...

I was waiting for micro fiber suggestion - thanks, but my question was about lens cleaning tissue.

Don

Dang Bob are you still hobbling around? My sympathies.

Don

Hello Folks,

For decades I've been using Kodak lens cleaning tissues (Kodak lens cleaning paper) but sadly my stash will soon be exhausted.

I've read on dpreview that Tiffen sells the...

My answer is - don't attempt to clean the print. Most likely the damage is now in the emulsion and can't be removed without further damaging the print. Have the print expertly scanned and reproduced...

Since you live in CT contact Carl Weese regarding his workshop schedule. He is in CT also and he is definitely one of the best palladium printers out there.

A copy of David Vestal's darkroom handbook is highly recommended. If you want to take darkroom classes consider the Spruill Community Art center. They have a great darkroom with excellent enlargers.

Firstly, I would advise both of you to try and setup a home darkroom if at all possible even if you have to set it up and take it down each time you use it.

Secondly, darkroom rentals usually are...

That's the Photography Center of Atlanta and is operated by Bill Gillespie.

Good luck.

It's the ink set you need to be concerned with, not so much the printer as long as it is working properly. The 7600 uses Ultrachrome ink which will produce negative densities adequate for alternative...

Andrew was referring to Chinese manufactured ink not OHP.

The Sodium Tungstate will also eventually go bad. I had to dump a small bottle that had some kind of crud growing in it. I have no idea why it became contaminated.

Take a look a Wayne's website for examples of very good palladium work.

Learning how to make proper negatives is part of the process, so no you don't buy the negative. If you want to be self taught do your research first.

Ever hear of Google? Mega tons of examples on the net.

Come on guys let's give Zenny a break. Many of us never took a workshop and taught ourselves the process. Zenny is also not located in the US so his access to American workshops is probably quite...

Hi Jan,

I didn't know you were doing workshops.

Folks if you don't know Jan's work let me tell you he is a very good palladium printer. And IMO, his workshop fee is very reasonable.

I've tested the B&S plastic droppers and they are very consistent. Each drop will have a volume of about 0.05 ml. Yes the different solutions will have different SG but if we measure by volume with...

Clean your bellows thoroughly and keep it clean.

Try to dry your film in a cabinet. A home made one will do. Make sure your photo-flo is clean as well.

Well this topic has been discussed on certain fora for years, especially in regard to producing digital inkjet negatives for contact printing. A scanner just seems like a natural contender. In the...

Save yourself the hassle and purchase a used XRite 810 for about $200-$250 or less. Scanners are slow and DR limited and the tend not to be linear in the toe and shoulder.
