Thanks. Since you're in Europe, can you recommend any good litho films available here? I'm trying with agfa (now eco3 offset solutions) but they're stubborn to work with.

Re the tanning lamp, reread that thread.

Hi, yeah, so the title is pretty explanatory. Looking for book recommendations on copperplate photogravure. Not interested in photopolymer. Have done courses in intaglio printing and am a member of a collective workshop in that field so I now the basics of printmaking but would like to combine...

It comes down to cost per print for the systems lifespan. And you'd have include your own time for fettling around with led lights. Look, this was a hypothetical question. I have access to two different uv-systems already and I'm not really interested in building a led setup. I do not care about...

Yep, rope it in, brand it and make it do tricks Just gotta raise the $1500 the seller is asking

If you're worried about the utility bill due to exposing photographic material in uv-light, you really need to reconsider your career choices.

Suddenly a wild devere 507 appeared only two hours drive from me. I might skip the whole conversion thingy.

Ah, the more you know. Well they probably had a pretty solid sales division here because they are very plentiful.

I think durst is german and I'm in Scandinavia so there plentiful here but mostly lo-end consumer products and often with a head for multigrade filters (90% of what's floating around on the used market), that being said, they're still solid units for what they are. In the current dark room we...

It's a durst laborator 1200. I never mentioned anything about commercial.

Great reply. This was mostly a theoretical question, and I am surprised that not more people are doing this. Two sunbeds and you could do a 40x50" print .

They exist

Still an array of point sources. At the print making work shop I'm part of we have an uv exposure unit for stuff, with vacuum easel and discharge light. I made a simple test with uv led strips and the discharge light at same lumen, the led strips were not as even. So no, I won't invest shitloads...

The one I saw had a fan on it. LED is such a point source of light, is it really better? And the light output in lumen isn't really that good. Nah, it will be fluorescent tubes or discharge lights for me.

Weird thought. Could a "home tanning" type of sun bed/lamp be used for uv exposure? Usually abundant on the second hand market, and presumably with even light they could be a cheap solution to uv exposure for alternative processes?
