Set-up for contact printing on 16x20 paper

[Bogdan Karasek]

I recently acquired several boxes of ADOX 16x20 paper and a 16x20 vacuum contact printing frame with vacuum pump. Until now, I have printed 8x10 contact sheets using my Omega D2v as the light source. Obviously, the sheer size of the 16x20 frame prohibits me from using it under the enlarger, so I am thinking that I should make a dedicated contact printing set-up using an overhead bulb as the source of illumination.

If anybody has a similar set-up using a overhead bulb, I would welcome any input, ideas, pictures.

Thanks!
