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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
