Acrylic 4x5 film drying rack recommended?

[Jim Noel]

I use dental x-ray clips. Free from friendly dentists who have gone to digital x-ray.

I always used clips until I got this not long ago:

I have the 10 sheet ones. Has holes to drain around the “V”’s at the bottom. Works wonderfully.

No more marks on my sheets, no more sheets falling to the ground due to clipping clumsiness….

I have some of the Kodak equivalent of the Xray clips. IIRC I cut them from some sheet film hangers then drilled a hole in them. Would have been much easier to just buy those clips. Where were you guys all those years ago, hmmm??

I bought some cheap stainless steel clothes pegs, used a centre punch to put two points on each side to stop the film from slipping out.

I found the same clips on Amazon.de when I started out with 4X5 last year. I wasn't too comfortable with wooden pegs and these caught my eyes.
They are well made and cheap.
I run the string through the holes in the handle.

Anybody use the IKEA SLIBB Hang dryer 24 clothes pegs (Article Number 405.270.76)? Our family just picked one up for $CAD 7.00 for laundry, but I can envision other uses in the future.
I have been using fold-back binder clips on coat hanger bent to saddle each of six clips.

Bit late but I use the Combiplan 4*5 film holders to dry my film. I have a JOBO Mistral dryer which I let blow for 1-2 minutes on highest heat, switch off and place the Combiplan holder in. After a night drying the negatives are completely dry.

Best,

Cor

I haven't tried it, but am considering getting one, if only to support one of the creators of the Large Format Photography Podcast.

I vastly prefer single point KODAK clips

VERY hard to find

I found NOS in box last decade

I use clothespins and have never had objectionable marks.

If this is really a concern for you, use dental X-Ray film hanger. They will leave nearly no mark behind.

Acrylic doesn't make a lot of sense if forced air drying is involved, since it is electrostatic and attracts dust, more than even the film base itself. But the drying chamber air should be highly filtered regardless. I prefer passive drying using a nylon clothesline over the sink.
