UV contact printer

[emile_de_leon9]

Hi...does anyone know of a not too expensive uv contact print light (8x10) for platinum/palladium prints? Been thinking of doing this for years...finally ready to take the jump!

Thanks,

Emile

Emile... platinum printing requires a very intense light. If you are

just beginning in the process I think you would do well to look at

the website at www.platinumphotographer.com/plat.html

Edwards Engineering has a manufactured model you can purchase. Ditto

for the Palladio Company. Instructions for do it yourself light

sources are fairly easy to come by. (Don't have my sources for

this type of plan, but I bet some other posters will jump in with

the correct information.) So, if you are handy with tools, then you

could build your own. Just make sure you get the proper UV light

bulbs.

Good luck with the platinum printing, and if you have any other

questions, you can post on the alternative process forum at photo.net.

I was told someone uses a facial tanning unit quite successfully.

I've not tried it though.
