VC paper with no filtration (white light) should produce about a contrast grade of 2-1/2.

I am aware that the unit should be used with graded paper, but what would be the filter equivalent (if there is one) of using this white light source with VC paper? I did do some tests (4"x5" PMK neg) and the print appeared "muddy" so it is probably not feasible with VC paper... I am just curious Regards, Chris ================================================================================ ============================= To unsubscribe from this list, go to www.freelists.org and logon to your account (the same e-mail address and password you set-up when you subscribed,) and unsubscribe from there. ============================================================================================================= To unsubscribe from this list, go to www.freelists.org and logon to your account (the same e-mail address and password you set-up when you subscribed,) and unsubscribe from there.
