When ever I have wanted to make borderless prints I have made loops of masking tape.
I placed them on the enlarger base board - roughly one on each corner and another in the centre if it was a large print The advantage of masking take over most adhesive tapes is its much less sticky - so less chance of ripping the paper as it removed. I tend to use the edge of my easel blades to line the print up for framing/locating the print Martin |

A vacuum baseboard
Years ago I built a vacuum board for print copying, which could have been used for holding paper. It was constructed around a used vacuum cleaner from a junk shop, missing most of its tools. But it had a motor speed controller which produced more than adequate suction on the lowest setting, with the bag removed. And when the motor bit was on the floor the push-on/push-off switch could be foot-operated.
The board was a shallow wooden box with a perforated plastic front. The depth was a little bigger than the hose diameter, which was a push fit. I think the holes were about 2mm diameter, 20mm apart. It didn't work too well for smaller sheets - the operator had to cover the rest of the board with sheets of card, held lightly in place with a single dab of tape to prevent them from falling when the vacuum was off. |

Neschen Gudy DS 11 double-sided tape. The permanent side sticks to the easel, reversible side keeps the paper flat. It was/is used on the Jobo Vario Print easel.
