What is your favorite gear for contact printing?

Two sheets of 1/4" plate glass for 8x10". Perhaps overkill, perhaps not.

Maybe I can answer next week after I get back from the workshop with Michael A. Smith and Paula Chamlee. Can't wait, present to myself for getting a new job.

A 7x17 print frame beautifully built by Bill Schwab under a cold light head with VC filters using Kentmere Fineprint VCFB. I would happily change to a vacuum frame if one comes along. The three print frame springs are rough on arthritic hands during a day of printing.
