Let's play the alternative source game... What is the best alternative to the Jobo sheet film drying clips that you have found? I've seen lots of different ideas for hanging sheet film, including clothes pins, hemostats, etc. What is your method?
Here's my entry: Mueller Electric Co. 20 amp electrical alligator clips
wooden or plastic clothespins

I use these in stainless. I use them for prints but could use them for film if necessary. I know others use stainless steel forceps hung from a line with good results.
I highly recommend these:

They're used for installing grid ceilings, but couldn't be more perfect for hanging film.
Jay,
Over the years I have used may type of clips for film. Some from Radio Shack, some from the cloths line. Until one day I found some Kodak dental clips. These are by far the best for film.

Jan,
The gang dental clips look too close together to me. How do you keep the sheets from touching?
Jay DF
No not the gang ones but the single clips. Kodak quit making them a loooonnng time ago. But they can still be found on e---- a got a batch a few years back I think it was 10 or 12 boxes and then got 5 more a year or so ago. The lady that I got the first batch from asked if I was a dentist. I said no and sent her a 2 1/4 pt/pd print as a thanks. I will try and send a pic tomorrow of the clips.

Jay, what is the name of that clip? The host site's home page says it is under construction, so I can't search for clips.
I think some Home Depot stores carry them.
