Hello everyone!
I am in the process of building a light box according to the specifications on the Edwards Engineering website. I have the box frame completed and just installed the bi-pin lampholders today. The problem is that the lamps are not exactly evenly spaced. There are no large gaps between them but instead the spaces between the lamps vary +/- 1/4 of an inch...some are a little closer together than others. I was just wondering what (if any) impact this may have on the resulting prints? I tried my best to get them PERFECTLY aligned but I just couldn't seem to manage it. Should I start again? If this is a problem, would installing a piece of galvanized sheet metal behind the lamps and painting the inside of the box white help to even out the light?
Thanks to anyone that can help!
