My condolences. Thank you for letting us know.

Been dealing with the paper curvature on Ilford-branded FB paper for over several boxes; I tape the easel’s bottom lid down - it’s annoying but it works. The more annoying problem is wrinkles on the edges of the paper once it dries - no amount of pressing in the dry-mount press seems to work...

Finally got to see it today. Beautiful prints and a nice presentation as you pointed out. Apparently the ICP bookshop has a Eugene Atget book for sale but I missed it.

Thank you all. Excellent advice.

Haven’t seen it yet but plan to before it closes: https://www.icp.org/exhibitions/eugene-atget

I should have specified that it is the wires between the platen and the top portion of the the press that need to be replaced - the single wires -, (not the cord that plugs into the wall).

My smaller Seal Press needs its brittle/breaking electrical wires replaced. These wires are NOT plastic coated type; they are coated with a cloth-type of material. What is it called and where can I source a small quantity of such wiring? Any leads will be much appreciated.

Beautifully rendered contrast. Well done.

That is what I wanted to know; thank you.

I have come in possession (free) of a couple of large sheets of ‘SEAL ColorMount COVERSHEET’. I am unfamiliar with these. Can they be used the same way as release paper is used with B&W prints? I would appreciate your input and thank you in advance.

Interesting that you dilute the 130 stock 1:3. I am interested in your observations/criteria. I dilute 1:1 for 'normal' contrast.

How about making the adjustment for the Dry Down factor? Looking over the Heiland literature but found nothing about it.

The glass carrier can handle all formats up to the largest size negative it is intended for. I have a Durst with a 4x5 glass negative carrier and use it for 35mm, medium format and 4x5. The Anti-Newton glass should be on the top portion of the carrier.

Terrible news. A fine photographer and teacher.
