New Dark Room

Well I ordered and just received the following:

I just installed them and moved a light switch and redid some wiring and the room is surprisingly bright.  I hope to test some Chromablue with these covers before the end of the week.  I will report back after some testing.  Time to break out the exposure calculator (I hate this as I feel like I am wasting time being non-productive)

Yeah those were the ones that I was looking at.

Hey, look at that URL, must be a good product.

I guess so, I didn't even notice that blueness in the URL.  Just finished meshing some 310's so I hope over the next couple of days to start testing the Chromablue.  By the way Gilligan, the surf fishing has been crazy lately so come get you some while the gettin is good!

That's the cover we got, but I doubled up on the bulb just to make double sure we are ok.

Sure you can use that emulsion?  It's not the right color for your shop. :p


Arghhh!  I need to, sure would beat working!  LOL  I just got to get all this work out of the way!

Not the right color emulsion?  Confused.

Yeah, work tends to snuff out the play unless the two collapse into the same category, as seems to be the case for many here - which, I guess, is why they really excel at what they do.

Just wanted to say that the amber covers I purchased (see link further up) work great with Chromablue emulsion.  We have cut our exposure times by at least half by switching from UDC2 to Chromablue though we are still fine tuning the times for optimal halftone washout

Did you do any extended test... like the coin test or something?

[ScreenPrinter123]

Not sure what the coin test is to be honest.  We used the Chromaline calculator to get close and then just started burning screen after screen with with the same film with halftones until we got the results we were looking for.
