    emulsion side toward enlarging lens?

    I just finished processing my first batch of Arista EDU and so far I am pleased. Now the real test will be how I like the prints it produces. I have a generic floral photo but I don't know which side is the right side. Arista doesn't have any markings to indicate which side is the correct side. So, does the emulsion side in the enlarger go toward the lens for enlargements or just the opposite? Thanks.

    Alexis, the emulsion side goes toward the enlarger lens.

    Or simply, emulsion side down.

    Or shiny side up.

    Vertical enlarger, of course. ;^)

    Or" emulsion to emulsion ",the neg emulsion faces paper emulsion. Kind of like tightening bolts or screws, "rightly-tightee"," lefty-lousy ".
