It’s been several years now, but I got the brushes here:https://www.pgi.ac/en/2079/
I contacted them at info(at)pgi.ac and it did take a couple of days to get a reply. Otherwise the transaction...
I have been using one of these for a couple of months now. I’ve been very happy with it, seems to have no trouble turning any drum I have. I have used it with Jobo expert and 2500 series drums. It’s...
I am, mostly large format with some medium format and alt process. Recently I’ve began documenting my adventures with an 11x14 camera.

I don’t know the specific coverage of that Rodenstock lens, but it should certainly cover at 1:1. The image circle at 1:1 is approximately double the size of the image circle at infinity. Most 300mm...
They have a also have a low strength purple: Loctite 222. It’s recommended for small fasteners. The strength can vary depending on the specific metal, certain stainless steels can require an...
Delta 100 works wonderfully for making negatives for palladium, so it should also work pretty well for salt prints. The developer I use is PC-TEA. I expose from 50-100 depending on the contrast of...
I also just acquired some 8x10 Tech Pan so this is quite timely. I use a Jobo but with PC-TEA so my plan was to use a very dilute solution. I’m curious what constitutes high contrast for Tech Pan as...
I use this led strip: https://store.waveformlighting.com/products/real-uv-led-strip-lights?variant=12527605252198
I cut and soldered a 5m strip (of the 365nm) so the exposure area would cover my...
I don’t have any tips for weather that cold, however I would make sure your shutters are freshly CLA’d or at least don’t have old grease/oil that may thicken in cold weather. I had a shutter work...
I believe ic-racer has a sensitometer and can make them, at least for black and white anyway.
I like PC-TEA: 3-4 ingredients, less toxic than most, long lasting, and you can vary the dilution if necessary.
500ml - Triethanolamine (TEA)
45g - Ascorbic Acid
1.25g - Phenidone
1g -...
Where I work the weld inspection(outside vendor) is still done with film and the specs still call for film as the primary recording medium.
Carestream says the films are blue sensitive only at...
I think typically people use PayPal when buying and selling. I would certainly be very wary of taking a personal check. It always helps to check the age of the account/post history and there is the...
Does the extra density have any effect when you are printing? You might be able to measure some extra density but it might not matter on the print, of course if we’re talking about a full stop of...
I don’t think there is much better for the price than the Epson scanners when it comes to large format. I wasn’t so happy with the performance for medium format but it is excellent for 8x10.
A...
I also have hard water with 13.5 grains of hardness which isn’t as much of an issue as the high iron content. So I only use distilled water when mixing chemicals that aren’t one shot. I always use...
Thanks David, I was quite fortunate the light and wind cooperated on that day!

8x10 Palladium print(with a few drops of platinum) of a rose bush in my yard. I used Delta 100 and a Nikkor M 450mm.
I think Tmax 400 should be able to achieve the required contrast but other than that I would stick to slower films. I’m fairly new to pt/pd printing but Jim’s advice on exposure is excellent....
It is possible to make digital negatives with the Canon Pro-1000, speaking from direct experience. I have settled on using black inks as i haven’t been able to find a color that blocks UV well enough...
I think some of the accelerated tests show those Epson inks lasting 200+ years depending on paper selection so a couple hours of exposure time isn’t anything to worry about.
The UV printer PRJ is...
While maybe a little out of you price range, but I haven’t seen anyone mention the Canham JMC810(the all metal one). It’s not the most rigid camera especially with longer extensions nor the...
I can’t really speak to the degradation due to UV light exposure, it would probably depend on the specific ink used as I would expect a negative printed using black ink only to last longer than a...
It’s a little hard to tell what’s going on, but it seems like the first picture looks correctly processed minus the light leak and the scanner is trying to correct for the extra density in the area...
I believe that is the anti halation coating that has not fully been washed off. They have an recommended washing procedure: https://youtu.be/5Xvkzidoxhc
Alternatively you could always wash the...
After some time printing I feel I should update my opinion of these bulbs and that I can not really recommend either of these bulbs. The 420nm bulb tends to fog with even slight over exposure, you...
The Vermont Center for Photography in Brattleboro has a 4x5 enlarger, not what you want but might be useful in the future. There is also this darkroom https://www.cameracommons.com/index.html. I have...
Here is my list of spots, some(most) require a little hiking/walking. I would love to meet the person who could photograph my daughter with a large format camera. I can barley get shots with my RZ. ...
I won’t be able to make it as my year and a half old daughter occupies most of my time. I’m live just to the north in Putney so I’ve got a few spots that might be good. Let me know how you want me to...
Palladium print on HPR. Original file from Sony A7RII, negative printed on Pictorico using a Canon Pro-1000

I can add that I’ve had my replenished Xtol(2 Liter volume) for around 1.5 years. It’s been used for rotary processing 4x5 in a Jobo tank and 8x10 sheets in open trays. Like Maris I also replenish...
Xtol works really well for me in a replenishment system, especially with the larger volumes used for tray processing. I store my stock developer in bags like this:...
I can’t speak to that specific bulb as to wether it will work or not, but looking at the spectrum it seems the wavelengths may be too long as there isn’t much output below 400nm. I also use a grow...
First shot where i had some success. 8x10 Carestream MXG metered at ISO 80(shadows are a bit thin so I will probably rate it lower next time). Developed in replenished xtol for 9min at 70-72 degrees....

If anyone would like to try sculpteo or one of the other services, I would be able to provide a model with the correct file types. All I need is a basic drawing with some dimensions.
This thread has given me the courage to try my hand at 8x10. The weath if information is a little overwhelming(I’m barely part way through it), but hopefully Ill be able to contribute soon. I just...
