Hello Everyone,
I'm a long time Tri-X (in trays) user and in the mid 90s made a foray into the world of T-Max because of the backpacking and readyload combination. As a result, I have several marginal low contrast negatives from that era that are very difficult to print. Fortunately, I sometimes made two identical exposures, ending up with two nearly identical negatives (from plus or minus development). I have found by sandwiching these negatives together, I can make wonderful prints, as if the film was Tri-X to begin with!
Can anyone recommend the best type of tape to use for layering two 4 by 5 negatives together in a glass negative carrier? I'm not using a pin register, but I can align them perfectly after carefully flailing around for a few minutes with a loupe. I need to tape them down.
Any ideas?
Thank You,
-Brad
