So...in my quest for a light source for my DIY 11x14 enlarger - I quickly stumbled upon the Artograph Pro 1700 (17x17) - which features variable power up to 11,000 lux, plus adjustable color temp - which, for a split-grade guy like myself, could be great!
Although I have not yet found actual color temp. specs - the video on the autograph website (http://www.artograph.com) gives me some sense of an actual color temp. range - and while it looks like this range might not be quite that of my Zone 6 VC light source, it does look like it might be adequate - at least if a film exposure and processing regimen could be used to help make this range viable.
A somewhat less expensive alternative, one which might actually give me a greater color temp. range, would be to simply go with Artograph's "fixed grade" model - and use gel filters with this. But the "VC" (Pro) version just looks too compelling to ignore.
At any rate...if anybody has either used, or experimented with, either this particular light source or at least something similar to this, and could chime in with some feedback, that would be great. Thanks!
