I recently purchased this wonderful enlarger but I am having trouble getting it to do what I want. I have plenty of experience printing black and white, on a wide variety of enlargers. But the 'keyboard' or 'control panel' is driving me insane!!
I am running some tests for PEI, N, N+1 ETC.. All I want to do is set the exposure time and set the contrast and do some test prints. Just how you would with an enlarger without a 'keyboard'. Every time I try it always adjusts the exposure time to compensate for contrast, or vice versa. I would imagine that the previous owner had programmed it for his own work, so I need to erase or reset so that I can start from the simplest of printing and then programme it for my own work.
Can you reset all settings?
How do I go about using the enlarger so that I can select exposure time and grade without it constantly adjusting what I put in??
I'm in no doubt that I will fall in love with the enlarger, and all of its calibration features will work perfectly for me in the future. But right now I just want to put in an exposure time, put in a grade and print....just like any simple enlarger. Help!!
