Contact printing question

Oh, another suggestion....in order to save on expense of paper....I cut down larger sizes of paper to smaller test print sheets. when you become more experienced at exposure with smaller test prints, you can really cut down on 'wasted' 'full size' prints. you get better at placing the test print in a 'critical' area of the full sized print to get a good idea on exposure... Also, paper goes further when shooting larger negs...as you tend not to shoot as many 7x17 as you do 8x10 or 4x5 .

Thanks! Btw, I would use trays for developing instead of the jobo. Safelights and trays are available on ebay. With trays you can see what's going on during the printing/developing process.
