Kodak Mini 2 Retro Photo Printer

I’ve been harping lately about printing your photos …

First test prints using the contact printer are *very* overexposed. 😂 The "these kinds of contact printers are meant for slower paper" was *not* a lie. From left to right, the exposure times were: 4 seconds, 1 second, and 0.5 seconds. This was using very expired Kodak Polycontrast III RC paper (I don't know the exact expiration date, but the box says Kodak is an "Official Sponsor of the 1996 Summer Olympics", so...) along with a 100+ year old negative. I needed to stop for the evening, but I'm not at all disappointed for a first attempt.

I found a vintage (1950s?) Brumberger (up to) 5x7in contact printing box for sale locally. Needs a bit of a cleaning, but it's otherwise in great shape. These kinds of contact printers were meant to be used with now-hard-to-find, contact-printing-specific, silver-chloride papers like Kodak AZO. (As far as I know, Lodima is the only place to get similar paper... and it's not cheap.) That said, I've read that you can use modern enlarging photo paper as long as you don't mind a certain loss of control. Modern papers are several stops (at least) faster than silver chloride... so the exposure times will be much shorter.

I'm excited to experiment with it.

Does anyone have recommendations for a good #photobook service that ships to #Austria?
I do not need a ton of page customization options, but want to order about 5-10 copies of a photobook with good print quality and a decent price per copy.

Printing Photos and Further Thoughts on Photography

I received a big box of miscellaneous, old dark room/photography material in the mail today (picked it all up for not much more than the cost of shipping). Included are seven small contact printing frames... and one of them still has negatives in it.

At this point, I'm betting the resulting photos would be a tiny bit over exposed. 😂

I'm tempted to leave them in the frame and hang it up as a decoration.
