Advertisement Posted April 10, 2011 Posted April 10, 2011 Hi JosefSchachner, Take a look here You don't get that warm fuzzy feeling after a night of scanning. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!

Guido Posted April 10, 2011 Share #4 Posted April 10, 2011 I can't stop imagining that the suits in the background hang there to dry along with the prints Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JosefSchachner Posted April 10, 2011 Author Share #5 Posted April 10, 2011 Re: Towels: on the smaller prints its not too bad, but on larger prints a amazing amount of water is running off even after squeezing them off. Re: Suits: at times there is a fight for space on the drying rack, and the prints usually win ;-) although some films in the shower recently lost somebody turned on the shower without looking (still puzzles me how one can overlook 4 rolls of 135 hanging in a white! showercabin, but maybe this was more for learningpurposes to clean my stuff out of the shower before the morning) As soon as they are flat (if ever) I will make some scanns...... printed some comparisons between the Adox MCC and the Ilford MG IV FB.

Jeff S Posted April 10, 2011 Share #7 Posted April 10, 2011 Advertisement (gone after registration) As soon as they are flat (if ever) I will make some scanns...... I always used print drying screens instead. Stacked together on a rack, with prints placed flat between screens, I always got flat prints. Plus the rack takes up little space and is far less labor intensive than your hanging method. I never had a dripping issue once prints were squeegeed with a proper tool...not sure why your experience is different. Jeff Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JosefSchachner Posted April 10, 2011 Author Share #8 Posted April 10, 2011 I will certainly have a look at the screens, currently I just dont have any :-) and with a move ahead of me i am a bit reluctant..... currently I dry the prints on the rack, and then toast them in a heated press (dry) and then let them cool down in a big book...... that works ok for me, its a bit depending on the type of paper i use, ilford is ok, i had some Foma batches that where terrible....... I literally never print anything bigger than 30x40cm which is also the largest size my press takes. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
cbretteville Posted April 11, 2011 Share #9 Posted April 11, 2011 Glad you had fun. I don't have the luxury of being able to use a whet darkroom for printing so I scan the negs I shoot and develop. Carl Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SJP Posted April 11, 2011 Share #10 Posted April 11, 2011 The corners of the prints look a bit curled up, the suit should be fine however:rolleyes: Groningen/Den Haag - interesting combo I studied and lived in Haren/Groningen untill I was 26 or so, then via, via to Den Haag (The Hague for the non natives). Den Haag is a really great place to live - my favorite so far, contrary to "popular consent". For me it is the closest you can get to living in a village and a metropolis at the same time.

Bateleur Posted April 12, 2011 Share #11 Posted April 12, 2011 Good looking crop there... well printed by the looks of it too. Nice to see, Charles Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JosefSchachner Posted April 12, 2011 Author Share #12 Posted April 12, 2011 My 2c is also equiped with a Heiland Splitgrade, that makes printing so much more convinient. Sadly it is a bit like GPS, I have not done a test-strip in ages, as with a bit of practice (i.e. where to measure in the picture) I am happy with the first print in at least 90% of all cases. I like Den Haag quite a bit, but now fully relocated to Groningen, on occasion spent a weekend there ;-) I do miss the beach and that its close to Schiphol, getting out of the country by plane is a bit of a chore from Groningen.
