Basically > exposing a whole bunch of paper, then going over to the wet side and > processing it at once. > > Today was my day to make 100 different 5x7 prints from my trip to Europe in > May. I started like I always do... setting the easel up for each neg, > focusing each neg, then exposing, and finally processing one at a time. > After a grand total of 3 of these experiences, a lightning bolt hit me about > how long it would take to make the other 97 prints I needed.... > > Thanks Ted... I did them all in about 4 hours, using what I remembered from > your experiences. Set enlarger height once, set easel placement once, > focused a few times, but basically once, and processed the paper in batches > of 10 or so at once.,... > > That is what is so great about this list... the tips you can pick up if you > listen carefully..... > > Frank Filippone > red735i@earthlink.net > >
