Saunders 670dxl contrast settings?

[Mark H]

Does anyone have a listing of the CMY settings for b&w variable contrast printing on a Saunders 670dxl? The figures I'm using on this borrowed enlarger don't seem quite right, but maybe because I'm not used to it. Thanks!

The only way to truly get correct contrast grades that are speed matched to your paper is to calibrate them yourself. search "Paul Butzi dichroic calibration" on google for an idea. Otherwise your better off just adding magenta for more contrast and yellow for less.
