yellowWhat colour is your baseboard? Black perhaps?
yellow
I misunderstood. The baseboard is unpainted wood (beseler) and the easel is yellow. It’s a Saunders easel. It’s easier to focus if I use paper.What colour is your easel? And what enlarger manufacturer in their right mind would make an enlarger with a yellow baseboard. Is this for wildlife photographers who only photograph parrots?
How can there be compensation for a UNKNOWN thickness of enlarging paper? At best it is a guess for amount of compensation. Do you adjust it for single weight or double weight backing? which brand?I don't use paper underneath and I thought grain focus scopes were designed to compensate for this?
The very popular Saunders easels (among others) use a relatively non-reflective yellow paint - I understand that it minimizes halation arising due to the enlarger light passing through the paper and then reflecting back through the paper again.What colour is your easel?
