[pure-silver] Re: Common Printing Mistakes

I kind of over-thought the issue of keeping records.
I created a database (in Filemaker) that shows most of the relevent info (date, roll#, frame#, lens, f.stop, etc.) with pop-ups and some free-form fields. Then I made a layout that showed 5 of these records (blank) on a single page, printed that and photocopied it. Now I keep the blanks in the darkroom and write down my printing info on them. If I ever get ambitious enough, I will finish transcribing them to the database, which could then be printed out (with the records) as a record of how I printed. 

I was apparently rather bored that day...

I keep a notebook w/excruciatingly precise notes about neg #/image description w/exposure sequence 

Same here - 3x5 index cards transcribed from notes on the
back of the print.  Putting the notes on the back in #8B
pencil keeps the notes and prints from getting confused.

As a result I have lots of notes and data for prints I will
probably never print again.

The one image I have been working on for months, when I finally
get it right through exhaustion, has no information whatsoever
written on the back.  What I do have on record is 50 ways to do it wrong.

The situation has improved some recently as the timer now stores
the exposure sequence for prints.
