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.
