Have recently acquired one of these slide viewers and cutters.  Over the years
I've tried various film cutters with poor cutting edges leading to ragged
results, but the Kaiser cuts film cleanly and without fuss.  (Being second-hand
there were no instructions.)

I had my first experience in the darkroom the other day, and although the
results were not that great, it was exciting and interesting and got me hook
up. But before I continue, I have question:
The enlarger I bought (Printmaker 67) contained a Red Safety Filter that

Is it me, or is the monochrome work represented in the RPS journal taking a
turn for the worse?  Maybe I'm getting twitchy, but every reproduction looks
like it has a bad case of the inkjet blues (greens, cyans, etc, depending
upon density) and the subject matter is getting really ...

I wrote this a couple of years ago when K25 was dicontinued:
When I called the professional division (800 242-2424 ext 19) to
complain about the discontinuation of K25, I was told "I can't help
you".

I guess my question was misleading.  The white spots appear on the print not
the negative.  So I think that they are bubbles or is it bells?  My concern is
that can I cause problems by hitting the tank on a hard surface to often or to
hard or to much?

I've heard this is one of the better archival color neg papers - I'm
thinking of using it as the negative in a pinhole camera in Antarctica - the
most important question I have "is there a watermark on the paper?"
If there's a watermark, I can't use it as I will be contact printing ...

For years, I've been getting my 35mm color prints processed at "the
drugstore". The chain I currently use, like most others, uses Fuji equipment.
They just upgraded their lab equipment, and the results I've been getting are
even better than before.

Version 2 of my darkroom software is online:

dramatically, with a compounded annual growth rate of 37 percent over
the last three years."

I'm actually a negative collector, not a shooter. I have a large
number of 616 negatives for which I'm seeking a storage solution. I
have some poly negative sleeves for this size, but they're no longer
manufactured. I've search the web and talked with several of the major

I recently purchased a 20+ year-old darkroom setup.  Included are 3
blotter rolls that have never been used.
How do I use these?  Unroll a portion, stick a fiber print in, and put a
weight on top?  Do I cut off portions after being used a few times?

I use a Beseler 23CII with the DGA Dichro head.  It is currently fitted
with the Beseler Conic Light Integrator and the condensers (instead of the
diffuser which I also have).
MS claims that my light source is too small to achieve the effect
