Ok, I finally got the little bulbs that illuminate the color scales on the CLS2000 head. The bulbs are behind some filter material, but on testing, the light is much less than 'safe.'
So, what I am going to do is to replace the filter material with something more suitable.
Ok so further checking the little filters over the panel lamps and it seems as if they are an 'olive' color. I suspect to be somewhat safe for color materials.
So I removed the 'olive' filters and replaced them with filters made from Rosco sheet #27 (primary red).
Looks pretty cool in red now that it is done.
I saved the old filters...who knows some day I may want to print color.
Here is an example of the large images I currently am producing. They are physically glued together by hand, not unlike the way a work of art would be created (as opposed to a computer creation ). I am proud of the joining lines as they clearly differentiate my work from "stitched" work. However, I have been doing this for 5 years and still don't feel like I have a good technique to glue them together. Currently I am using tape to hold the images together and then using super glue for the bond. The reason I have been using that technique is that superglue glue flows well and leaches under the two pieces of paper while they are still held in alignment. Then it sets instantly.
Each one was created with a different technique:
TOP IMAGE: This was done with the Rollei panorama head. So, it is three separate negatives that were printed then glued together with the image matched up.
SMALL IMAGE: This is a mock up for a larger image (yet to be printed). This was also done with the Rollei panorama head and 3 negatives, but in this case the rebate of the center image was included, and the other two were overlapped to line up the subject.
BOTTOM LARGE IMAGE: This was done with a totally different technique. The original negative is 8x10 and I used a 210mm lens to print four separate segments of the image on 16x20 paper. Then I glued the 4 pieces together and matched up the image. It came out 51" long x 20" high. I used the 'scrolling' Durst Negateil to position each segment of the original negative over the lens.
My bulbs are not working either... where did you get the bulbs... auto parts store?
