Speed Dodge?? contact printer

[Rhondal McKinney]

I'm trying to remember the name of a contact printer that had about 60 xenon bulbs on separate switches and the user could effectively dodge prints by turning off chosen bulbs. I was thinking it was called the Speed Dodge printer but that doesn't turn up anything on Google.

This is perhaps, not the one that you were thinking of...
But, the one that I use and quite like... Is an old 'Arkay'.

The miller holwarth was a 9x18" format. Morse printers were usually a 9x9 format. Both used little round frosted 7 watt incandescent bulbs.

I once saw a console TV sized one that you could dodge from inside the box and the light was at least a foot below the print sandwich.

Some X-Ray medical duplicators have many light bulbs on switches.

You could digital print masks...

Log E printers used a CRT to scan a 9x9" neg and vary exposure according to the density. Been around since the late 60's

An IPad at about 2 inches, with an image of the dodging pattern desired on the screen? Draw it right on the screen with a big fuzzy brush You could also set the background color for VC printing. This would be a cinch to build at home.

You can dodge and burn a 4x5 contact

I cant imagine doing the same flicking bulbs on and off with any great accuracy

Plus all the noise

I believe I still have one in the storage closet. I also should be able to find the bulbs. If you ae interested in it, send me PM and I will search it out and get back to you. It is heavy so shipping will not be cheap. By the way, they will work with incandescent bulbs as well as Xenon.
