Contact printing
Your first job in the darkroom is likely to be contact printing the negatives you have just processed . Contact printing means plac- ing the negatives with their emulsion side in contact with the emulsion side of a sheet of light - sensitive photographic bromide paper ( further information on photographic papers is on p . 77 ) . Bromide paper is sensi- tive to normal light but not to orange light so only use an orange safelight , and always remember to replace the spare sheets in their light - proof container before turning on normal lighting . To print the negatives on to the bromide paper , expose them to light from a reading lamp or empty en- larger . You will be able to judge the required exposure time with experience After exposure , remove the negatives and process the print as shown on page 76 .
Preparing and printing the negatives
The basic equipment for making a contact print is shown right . It is helpful to cut the film into strips of six negatives- this way a complete 36 - exposure film ( i.e. six strips ) will cover one sheet of 10 × 8 ins ( 25.4 x 20.3 cm ) paper . If each film is printed on to a separate sheet , it can be filed and num- bered with its negatives . Make sure that all your negatives are the right way around and that all the pictures are the right way up ( by checking the position of the numbers on the film ) . The strips must be in complete contact with the paper : lay a sheet of heavy , clean glass on to the negatives and the paper to press them together . Equally you can use a contact printing frame this saves time when several contact prints are wanted from one film .
Identifying the emulsion surfaces of film and paper
Film and photographic bromide papers curve slightly , with their emulsion surfaces inwards . For film , check by the lettering - this should be the right way around when read from the back , i.e. the non - emulsion side of the film .
Exposing equipment
Contact printing frame
Exposure timer
Light source ( desk lamp or enlarger )
Bromide paper
Negative file
Orange safelight
Making a contact print - exposure
1. Use a soft , dry cloth to clean dust and marks off the glass .
2. Change to safelighting , and lay a sheet of bromide paper . emulsion side upward , on the baseboard . Place your negatives on this , emulsion side downward .
3. Cover the paper and the negatives with the glass . If you are using a contact printing frame , close the lid on top of the paper and negatives .
4. Estimate the exposure time from experience - try eight seconds ( with the enlarger lens two f numbers below the widest aperture ) .
Masking If one strip will print too dark , because the images are very pale , then cover this part- icular strip for half of the total exposure time .
Burning in If one strip looks as if it will print too light , because the images are very dark , then give it double the exposure time .
