    Kodak 4x5 Contact Print Frame

    I bought this frame yesterday off ebay:

    What size paper do you suppose it takes: 4x5 or 5.6?

    The link won't let me see the image. I'm sure you can figure it out when it arrives.

    I've got a Kodak 4x5 printing frame that looks remarkably similar. I'll check when I get home, but mine definitely has room to print on 5x6 paper.

    I measured the glass and it's 4.25X5.25.

    Hmm, mine measures 4.75"x6.75". Either way, I stand corrected. Mine looks slightly more modern.

    fecaleagle: What are the measurements of the glass and can you post a picture? The outside dimensions of mine are 5x6 but the glass inside measures 4.25x5.25which gives you a 1/4" border on the paper. I was actually looking for a 5x7 frame because I like to leave a 3/4" border on alternative prints but I didn't see any and bought the 4x5 above for silver prints.

    My frame is labeled "Kodak Auto. Mask Printing Frame For Negatives 4 x 5 - 3 1/4 x 5 1/2 And Smaller".



    The glass inside measures 5" x 7", but I did have to rip out the "auto mask" strips in order to print a 4x5 centered on a 5x7 paper. The printable area is the measurement I gave yesterday, but you can indeed print onto a 5x7 paper with this frame.

    Here it is loaded with a 5x7 piece of paper.



    Note that the little auto mask rulers were a pain to remove, but I am pretty pleased with the frame now, as I like printing with a border as well...

    The dimension of the frame itself is 6" x 8". I know buying a bigger frame is a better solution, but on my budget, I'm pretty happy with this one. Good luck to you.
