Re: related testing question

I used ot use one of those all the time. (This was back in the 70's
when I had a darkroom...) The one I had was made by Kodak and I think
it may have been cakked a "projection print scale." It did not go in
the enlarger, but rather on top of the paper -- the enlarger "projected"
the image on it.
It used more paper than a test strip (I used half sheets of 8x10 for the
tests) but unless I got the initial exposure completely wrong I never
needed to make another test. I recommend it.

I think Porters sells them in their catalog (mail order / online).
