I've been using a 'budget' version of a contact printing frame that I bought fro m Photographers' Formulary and find it very unsatisfactory. The metal clip/clam ps are ineffective and have unseated themselves on a regular basis, causing more than acceptable waste through slipping and more than acceptable frustration whi ch is, perhaps, more important. Printing involves carrying a screwdriver to re-f it slipped clips and the frame has shown itself to be a poor performer under med ium (150 sheets in 3-4 months) usage. It was inexpensive ($35 for an 8x10) and I suppose I got what I paid for, although I think it should perform better than it does. But my question is: what contact printing frames are others using that they cou ld recommend? I do not require registration pins (at the moment) and don't care whether the source is American or not. Cheers and thanks in advance,Richard
