Tim, I do contact printing as well and I use my Saunders LPL enlarger as a light source. I also use a lux meter to get reproducible light intensity. But I find that some prints need more or less light than others do. I guess that depends on the density range of the negative. I also use 3/8" glass to hold down the negative, but I notice that portions of the resulting print are slightly out of focus. I couldn't figure out why at first, but then I repeated the same exposure using my contact frame for the same negative and the whole print is sharp. Have you had this experience? It must have to do with the weight of the glass on top of the paper that I am exposing. Thanks.
Hi, I have not had that issue on my side, but it does make sense how that could happen based on the thickness of the heavier glass. Thanks for watching and commenting.
Yes, thank you. The system had an error and posted it as a backdated article and I caught it and got it lined it. It is scheduled properly now and will release. Thank you for reporting it.

@@TimLaytonDarkroomDiary BTW your post regarding a new camera for photographing wild horses is a dead link.
