Hi,
I am using a Saunders LPL enlarger to print my 4x5 b&w negatives.
I am using a Saunders glass negative carrier which, according to the packaging, has anti-Newton ring glass on the top adnd regular glass on the bottom.
Many of my prints still show evidence of "wood ring" patterns in them, which I am guessing are Newton rings. These rings are patterned like what you might see on a 2x4 piece of milled lumber around a knot-hole.
1) Is this what a Newton ring looks like?
2) Any suggestions as to what can/should be done to eliminate the rings? They vary in size and location from photo to photo and are quite a distraction.
Thanks,
Robert
