john_reichenbach Posted May 17, 2001 Share Posted May 17, 2001 Has anyone ever used one of these? I'm talking about the old printers that Kodak and Ansco made and included as part of home developing labs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris_eve Posted May 21, 2001 Share Posted May 21, 2001 I suspect you're meaning a contact printer, where the prints are the same size as the original negative. I've not used either the Kodak or Ansco equipment, but started out with a Paterson in the late '60s. The problem you're likely to run into these days is that they were designed for "contact" paper, (ie Kodak Velox), which was a lot slower than modern printing papers, so printing times with ordinary printing paper will possibly unmanageably short, also, if your printer has a built-in safelight, this is likely to be yellow/orange in colour, probably unsuitable for normal printing paper, and definitely not suitable for multigrade paper.
