The process influences a lot on the fnal quality. The onlything I've never do with a Focomat IC is working with Multigrade papers, I've found difficult place the filters. Don't be converned for the a?AN Ring, do your trials and you will see what you need, initially if you work 13 x 18 probaly you don't need it.
