    Re: Platinum/Palladium prints...varnished

    Not sure if this is relevant to the discussion but I have used a product called Dorland Wax Medium on various types of alt prints. I apply crudely a thin layer with my finger over the print and then...
  2. Re: Super Chromega F Dichroic II 10"x10" enlarger help

    When facing the enlarger turn the nut (not bolt) clockwise, looking from the back of the enlarger turn the nut counter clockwise

  4. Re: Super Chromega F Dichroic II 10"x10" enlarger help

    You may have to bend the handle up a little on the filter holder to make it clear the negative carrier or put little spacers under the head so that the filter drawer handle clears the negative...
  5. Re: Super Chromega F Dichroic II 10"x10" enlarger help

    Aligning the neg and lens stage is really simple. Adjust the large nut for side to side alignment and the smaller nut in the narrow slot for front to back. See pic. I’m assuming yours is similar to...
  6. Re: Super Chromega F Dichroic II 10"x10" enlarger help

    I’m a little confused. Doesn’t your negative carrier slide in its own slot? I have the same setup as you have and the negative carrier slides in a slot below the filter drawer. The head is secured by...

    I’ll admit to usually using rear movements on my 8x10 except for I use rise/fall with the front standard. For me there is no dogma involved it really just comes down to my arms are too short to use...

  15. Re: What is the best grain focusing loupe (for under the enlarger) ever made by man?

    Although I haven’t used one personally, the Patterson Major focus finder might work for you and allow a more comfortable focusing experience. It is a bit taller than most focusers. I like the peak...
  16. Re: 8x10 contact prints compared to 4x5 enlargements?

    I’m of the opinion rightly or wrongly that humidity plays a big role in whether or not you’ll get newton rings. I’ve never seen them in my darkroom either contact printing or my plain glass negative...
  17. Re: 8x10 contact prints compared to 4x5 enlargements?

    Today I did do a comparison between an 8x10 contact and a 1 to 1 enlargement and to my surprise it was a noticeable difference between the two. I was using a color head for the light source with...
