So this is another contact kind of contact printer that I like to use in the dark room.
This contact printer is a little bit more precise and it opens up. We actually made
this one. I am a big fan of making things so you don't have to buy them. With this one,
essentially, your negatives would go in here and they get closed in with your photographic
paper in there or paper that you have coded already. In a little I am going to talk about
processes that are contact sheet processes where you actually have to use this printer.
So I take this piece of foam and close it down. What makes this printer a little bit
better than just the glass is that these hinges make the pressure a lot tighter than your
negative and the surface that you have coded. Believe it or not, when you are really printing,
especially with larger negatives, you want to make that amount of just tightness as much
as possible. Because if you don't your image can actually look a little fuzzy. Again, it
comes back to if you are doing this the right way, you want to keep it right rather than
wasting your time and fudging a little bit. So this is another contact printer that you
can use.
