I also printed using smaller boxes when I started and used plenty of
Velox. I suspect that Velox would be quite popular today when people
like cold tone paper.
I've found many people now don't know what these are and also think
contact printing is very exotic.
Very true about Velox... it would be a great paper by today's grammar
and standards...
The entire philosphy of shooting the image size you want to print and
contact printing was exactly my cup of tea... you compose and light in
the camera and the contact print is full of tone and detail... 2-1/4 x
3-1/4 is just about ideal...
Goodness now I wish I had my old Kodak printer and a few boxes of Velox
in different grades... that was magic...
