Default Paper Flasher II

Hi Les,

yesterday i received my Paper Flasher II from RH designs...but i was wondering what is the best place to fix it. Their advice is on the ceiling or next to the enlarger...but for what i've read, it seems that you put the white light on the enlarger. Is it possible to show with some pictures where and how do you fix it?

Another question is about the technique. After you make the flashing test strips and choose the desired flashing time, you make new test strips now with the flashing paper and the image in it? or you use the same exposure time before the flash?

Thank you very much

best regards

Hi Gundus
I fix the flasher light source to my enlarger using velcro, I will post a picture later in the day showing this.

Because I always post flash I make the flashing test after having exposed the paper to the normal image forming light exposure.

Hopefully the three images I've posted here will show how I've fixed the light source to the enlarger. I used to fix it with Blu-Tak but prefer Velcro these days. I've also tried magnetic strips but quickly abondoned them, the remnents of that experiment can be seen on the left hand side of image 1, I stuck the magnetic strip on with glue
