I think so!Sure. you will get a crop, 1mm on each of the horizonal ends. Depending on the enlarger, if the negative stage has room and if the condenser or mixing box if color head will cover you can filed or grind out the negative carrier carrier to 6X9.
thanks！It will fit fine because it is the same width, but you'll cut off a bit on one side or both -- usually no big deal.
I think so!
I’m using glassless carrier, This kind of carrier shouldn't damage the 6x9 edge image, right? Indentation?
thanks for your helpNo it will just allow for a 6X7 crop from your 6X9 negative. I shoot 6X9 and usually crop in a bit for an 8X10 inch print. If you want to print full frame 6X9 then you need to check to see if the enlarger negative stage cut out has room for a 6X9 and if your enlarger head, either condenser or mixing box will cover 6X9 without fallout in the corners. If both are yes then you file out the edges of the negative carrier by 1mm, sand down the edgrs to make sure no metal filling will damage the negative and you are good to go. I think it is a lot of work for not much gain. A lot depends on your enlarger. My LP 670 will not, the negative carrier stage is cut out for 6X7. and the mixing box will only cover 6X7. I use my 4X5 enlarger for 6X9 and 4X5. What brand and model enlarger do you have?
Okay!Should be fine as long as there are no sharp edges in your carrier cutout. Whether or not you can get away with lengthening the format cutout can be tested in advance by using a cardboard mockup carrier. It also depends on the focal length of your enlarging lens. Most overhead mixing boxes are a bit oversized already; but you'd have to measure.
good idea！If you want to be on the safe side, you can cut out matt board for 6X9 negative on the bottom of the stack, the matt board then the top plate of the carrier. My Omega D 3 will take the additional thickness, my LP 670 likely will not.
