Does anyone have the instructions for a Zone VI Dry-Down Timer? Just got one and need to make sure I'm using it right.

Note: This is NOT the Zone VI Compensating Timer.

Thanks!

Dry-down timer or dry-down dimmer?

If yours is like mine, it has an intensity knob (letters a, b, c, . . .) and a drydown knob (in percentages).

If you are asking about the operation of the drydown feature, that is a matter of testing with whatever fiber paper you are using. It is worth your time to establish the drydown compensation of your paper if it is something you use regularly.

I use so many different papers, basically just dial in 6%, that seems to be ballpark, maybe 5% if the print is going to sepia and 7% for gold and selenium.
