Dear Friends,
Gasp. Wheeze. Blink, blink, blink.
Sorry about that - just me emerging from the Hazel Leaf Studio In-house
Image Laboratory. Also known as the spare bedroom with the sink in it and
the windows painted black.
We have paper again. I mentioned a few weeks ago that Perth had sold out
of printing paper. Not to be stymied - and unwilling to try to sell
prospective brides a set of negatives and a promise....- I took the bull by
the horns and set my shoulder to the wheel and made a distressing spectacle
of myself at the camera store. I came away with 3 old boxes of 5 x 7 and 3
new boxes of 8 x10.
Fine as far as it went, but the way I print that covers about a day's
worth of test strips. I needed more. I got more - a roll of 10" wide paper
intended for a roll easel in a pro lab. Surprisingly cheap - about 1/2 price
compared to sheets boxed in 100's. I adapted a roll trim guillotine and a
wooden frame to hold the paper and spent a dim 3 hours slicing it into 8 x10
sheets.
This is easy enough but I notice that the paper has a fierce curl to
it - more so as the roll got closser to the core. I have stored the fresh
sheets of paper in 100 boxes with half of the curl pressing one way and half
the other.... [()] is a good keyboard representation of this. I am hoping
time will flatten the curl.
Has anyone else in the list been faced with a similar problem? Does
roll paper adapt to the amateur darkroom?
Uncle Dick
