Printing Notes:
The
filtration you should set your enlarger to when beginning a print is 0C,
55M, 45Y
If
you are using 8”x10” paper, you may want to start with your lens stopped down
to f8
Always
make a contact sheet of your negatives before attempting to enlarge a specific
image.
Always
make a test strip before attempting to make a print (or contact sheet).
You
will need to get the density correct before you will be able to fine tune your
color corrections. This means
finding the right time to get the right exposure, then tweaking the filters to
perfect your color.
Keep
the Cyan filter at 0. To alter
color we will only be changing the Magenta and Yellow.
Each
enlarger will give you different results, even if you use the
same settings. So pick one and try
to stick to it for the semester.
You
can never go back to a previous printing session. It’s a good
idea to write down your settings. Use them as a general guide on a different
day.
