Hello,

I made a short "tutorial" on my setup for contact printing. It could be a useful starting point for someone who wants to start with this process.

easier to hook light up to a pulley with the electrical line so you can raise and lower it....dodging tools should have a jagged edge so as not to leave a line on the paper...just a tip

Nicely done! Everyone should be able to make contact prints for proofing and final prints. Proofing roll films (and sheet film ) teaches one how to better expose your film in the first place. If you use auto exposure in a 35mm camera, making a proof will demonstrate that white or black subject, every frame will come out neutral gray.
