I think the point is simply that it can be done if required or desired. If you’ve already got properly functioning incandescent heads there’s no need for make-work projects unless you are so inclined.

No worries, you'll rarely catch me on that. As well as dogs.

I'm gearing up to do large color prints again next Spring. It might take a few months to get the specific color paper roll I ordered anyway. Just hope it doesn't arrive around Holiday season when so many parcel carriers are careless temps.

My crazy mind at work again... If you put UV lamp as the light source on a 4x5 enlarger, could you then make enlarged salt prints or other alternative POP process? Or build a dark box below the lens and use the enlarger outdoors, sun powered?

I tried putting a uv bulb in my enlarger to expose a salt printing. Left it on for several hours. Nothing. Whether it was a lack of light or uv blocking by the lens, I don’t know. The idea of multiple led uv bulbs in a box like a color head in intriguing.
