Hi Michael - Jon Cone is an amazing dude and is Ian, I have learned a lot from both of these gentlemen, very open with their knowledge, Before I started using quadtone Rip software for PT PD printing...
249350 So I now have two different timers from Ian Leake Studios, one is on our UV exposing unit we purchased from Cone editions, I liked it so much I asked Ian if he could make a timer with a remote...
Just my 2 cents- I have been working with HP5 and PMK for over 25 years now with clients and making prints for exhibition.... I have found in my small world that the most important part of the...
I borrowed a 8x 10 intrepid from Fred Lum last year and it was perfect for me, I thought it was brilliant for my usage.
I have been processing and printing 8 x10 HP5 in PMK for a long time now and I love the combination. A lot of extreme lighting conditions and when rating the film at 1/2 box speed then two dev bath...
The first thing I would do at this point is to check that you are getting good negatives... download a 21 step wedge and print this on your emulsion once you get 21 good steps that are corresponding...
I. would be interested in what. the humidity level of the drying room is where you put the coated paper?
I will use gold toner when multi toning prints, I have found the bleach sepia then gold will give lovely warm highligts and upper midtone then I will selenium for the shadows followed by a blue tone....
He braided bigfoots body hair to create a pulley for focusing the lens as well.
I am having KHB repair my existing transformers and timers and buying a spare for each, I will also look into the condenser system, I am going to try our Ian Leakes darkroom timers first as...
Good idea I will look , I did not know they had one.
I agree here, I have settled on Devere 507 and 11 x 14 after using many , many enlargers.... BUT I am getting asked to print a lot more 35mm work these days and I am going to set up my Omega 4 x 5...
I have a 5 x 7 Devere enlarger that I think is remarkable.
I still have a serious analoque darkroom but to the question Has Digital Changed Darkroom Printing? YES and for me and my apprentice it is a game changer , I am super stoked about the possibilities...
Can you and your brother weld stainless steel? I want to make a super size print washer.
very good point Michael, lots of desire by people to over complicate things.
This is pretty cool , very well done
Good Question
I use different papers for different projects .. I am working with a street photographer its usually Ilford Warmtone Glossy, this paper IMHO is one of the best papers ever made in...
I just purchased Photography by Phil Davis for my assistant to do the same drills I did some 50 years ago.
I like to think I am your friend Fred , you can give the HPR to me
I will add one slightly off topic but I think relevant observation:
I never really liked pt pd prints as I am first a Silver printer, the dmax of any straight pt pd print is lacking IMO. But I...
To the OP if you are using Pt Pd like some of us to have your prints last for Centuries, I would be cautious with Store Brand overcoats. back in the 70's 80' a product called Pro Texture was applied...
I always do what Paul explains, I process the first exposure and then adjust if I need, I do a lot of abstract work , Cross Process, Solarization and its required to have different exposures even...
do they do custom grinding for people?
Pigment Grinding, I am looking for sources in Canada to grind scale, I have been collaborating on a project with a Metal Smith. We are making BW prints using scale from his forge, I would like to...
I am going to investigate this , thanks
Hi Gord. I do have stacking metal drawers in my lab, I have thought on how to do this , they are certainly big enough and made of metal
I am trying to make my own paper safe ... 34 x 44 inches any good MGuiver Ideas that I could consider?
I think this is the right stuff instead of foam board as a backing
Hi Doremus. do you mind mentioning the backing you use, we are considering to move to a corrugated material for our backing other than acid free foam
Hi Peter
We mount to 100% rag board 2ply or 4ply and then use Acid free foam or coroplast in behind, The only time we mount to acid free foam is when we are preparing a frame that requires the...
for prints this size we add 3inches all around and 3.25 inches on the bottom. this gives weight to the bottom of the images and is pleasing to the eye.

I use 1 : 8 mixture and as Mark says you will have a painless changeover, it is a great developer.
Hi Peter
I use a Drytac Adehsive , not sure of the exact name as I purchase from a middle man and the box does not have a name on it.. but I think its Tri Mount.
Looks like light leak from processing .
Hi Michael - you probably know Jacques at Argentix , he is fantastic and I buy a lot of my chemicals from him to mix scratch
Yes I think we are going to have our bookbinding friends make a big lighttight box, 32 x 44 inside
I think this is the route I am going, I may have to make a custom light box as its really hard to find a oversize one. Doran is no longer making them.
Ok now we are talking thanks Jim I will look into this.
