Former McLean Hunter film stripper from Toronto, Ontario. McLean's was a magazine/newspaper publisher.in it's day. Sheet fed and high speed web printing. And before that letterpress.
Thank you for this great video of yours , very interesting and I learn things, so thank you for your work done here, the teaching and informative work.
Came back to this video as I'm about to order my first lith developer and give it a good try. Love the way you print by experience + feel. Much nicer than by stopwatch! I'm only half way there but moving in the right direction ;-)
Actually any silver halide printer, doesn't matter if it's laser. LED.contact print light source or even digital carrier, every morning they should do daily setup print, but not to calibrate the paper, but to calibrate the chemical and the lightsource. Paper calibrated only needed when paper is changed or paper too long inside magazine.
This video is amazing. Bob is a national treasure and it's so generous of him to make sure to pass his skills on. I'll be visiting the gallery next week and I'm so glad I watched this first to better understand what I'll be seeing.
What an excellent piece on the importance of making prints. I love the comment "for every print maker there are 10,000 photographers". So true. And making prints makes anyone a better photographer.
Hi there, I am from your United Kingdom fan base, your videos are amazing! I would love more about the home made light box for your flash. It looks much nicer than anything I have seen before. What is the distance from tray to box, what bulb are you using ie power and color temperature? Many thanks in advanced, Lowe
Hello Bob, I would like to sepia tone some of large prints but can't find a chemical supplier in Canada. Could you recommend a supplier here in Canada. Seems suppliers in the states wont ship to Canada. Thanking you in advance.
Thanks Bob. Do you know where I could get those registration pins? I have been using a “homemade” system that works okay, but this seems so much better.
I used to think my 4x5 enlarger was large and cumbersome. I sold all my analogue photo gear soon after buying Dan Burkholder's book on the digital negative in the mid 1990s. It's hard for people with avocations in many fields to afford hobby space like woodworking, metal working and large format photography... something had to give. You are blessed to be able to make a vocation of your photography and have such resources.
