DeVere 504 negative carrier/ANR glass

Hello everyone,
Im starting to print in the darkroom and I recently bought a cheap 504 De Vere that is however not complete. It came with the older DeVere universal negative carrier (this one https://www.secondhanddarkroom.co.uk/product/de-vere-504-universal-carrier ) but no insert or glass. What should I buy to hold the negative flat and what’s your technique on this enlarger? No glass, ANR glass and normal glass, ANR glass + inserts? I am a bit lost. Thanks!

ANR glass can be expensive, but it would go on the top and regular or ANR glass on the bottom.

I just had some glass cut by Knight Optical, per recommendations on Phototrio, however, the minimum order was $560, so I had to buy probably more glass than I needed. I bought enough to re-glass both of my 8x10 carriers and that was just about $560.

Un verre d'encadrement "anti-reflet" permet également d'éliminer les anneaux de Newton à faire découper chez un encadreur aux dimensions 15.5x12.4x2 mm
L'avantage des verres d'origine est qu'ils sont légèrement biseautés pour s'adapter au système de retenue du passe vues, mais une lime et un peu d'huile de coude permettent d'y adapter un verre anti reflet .
Je n'utilise pas de caches métal, mais j'ai découpé des caches aux dimensions de mes négatifs dans un film orthochromatique (exposé et développé pour être bien noir) pour éviter les lulières parasites sur les bords du négatif.

An "anti-reflective" framing glass also eliminates Newton's rings, which can be cut by a framer to size 15.5x12.4x2 mm

The advantage of the original glass is that it is slightly beveled to fit the grommet's retaining system, but a file and a little elbow grease can be used to fit an anti-reflective glass.

I don't use metal inserts, but I cut a sheet to the size of my negatives in an orthochromatic film (exposed and developed to be black) to avoid flare on the edges of the negative.
