Re: Kodak Paper without Logos

Hello.

I used to do quite a lot of large paper negative work. I used Ilford
papers, since they were one of the very few companies that did not print
their logo on the back of their papers.

Ilford papers come in a wide selection of surfaces. I found them to be
most suitable for making large paper negatives and contact prints.

One trick I used to experiment with was 'wet' contact printing. I would
process the large paper negative and, being an impatient sort I would then
wet (with water) a sheet of unexposed paper, I would then place them face
to face (emulsion to emulsion) on a glass sheet and use a rubber squeegee
to remove the air pockets. Once this was done I would expose to light and
develop normally (after peeling the two apart again)

Anyhow. Ilford.
