I've looked around a bit for info on contact printing, and most sites suggest using 'holders' for contact printing.
Would an inexpensive way of doing this just be to place a sheet of glass (larger than the negative) on top of the negative and paper? I'd like to get the full negative printed (including the border of the film), I'm assuming that most holders would probably crop out the edge of the film, is this correct?
For 8x10 contact printing, what is a good place to start for printing if I want to get the entire negative (borders and all) onto an 8x10 paper? Just line them up by hand, place a sheet of glass over them, then expose? Or would it be easier to just get a proper holder?
Thanks for any advice and guidance!
