Re: loading paper into a cancamera

Hey Lukasz! welcome to the list...
Here are a couple of ideas to add:

Use CLEAR TAPE to hold the paper in place. This lets the light through and you don't get those white patches on the negatives. It works great with RC paper but you have to be careful when taking it off as it could rip the emulsion. Maybe you can use up some of the adhesive first by sticking the tape to a lint free cloth.

Make a PAPER FRAME for the negative from cardboard. This would be a back + a window. It allows you to put the paper in the camera flat instead of curved. The window can be any shape. It can be placed perpindicular to the pinhole axis or at an angle to distort perspective.

Good luck,
Jim K

  Hi there,
  I'm new here, so my question is quite basic, namely: how do you load (I mean position) paper into a can camera? Do you use a tape that has both sides adhesive, or a normal one-sided tape? How do you make the paper stick to the camera's wall?
  Thanks in advance,
  Best regards,
   
  Łukasz
