Enlarger alignment - what is "good enough?"

[ruilourosa]

yes that´s true, it may fall out of alignment but honestly, to fix that just cut a new baseboard made out of something that does not warp maybe marine laminated wood, or so, and screw it tight...

 

[MattKing]

so using like an f8 would remedy any possible mis-alignment?

Nope.

It helps with some types of alignment problems (e.g. lens and negative carrier not parallel) but not with others (e.g. centre of lens and centre of negative carrier don't line up).
