Productive evening in the darkroom making 4x6 postcard prints (using my own 4x6 Simpleasel of course). All of these are destined for the mail!

Scanned 1 of the rolls of film from our NY trip. Lots of darkroom printables on this one! This is just a little teaser.

We took a couple days off from 3D printing n' laser cutting to travel into the winter storm to brave the weather and, after 5 attempts over a number of years, finally see the @colbertlateshow.bsky.social ! It was so worth it! We'll be back at servicing orders in a few days. Thanks for your patience!

Happy Friday! The Snapsel 11x14 is finally available! US customers only for now. We hope to make this available to International folks as early as next week (waiting on shipping materials compatible with lower shipping rates).

I was fortunate enough to be one of the beta testers for this. It's finally out!

Derek doesn't mess around when it comes to details. Want to get into film/paper tests and some densitometry? Now's the time!

Update on the 11x14 Snapsel! We did some packing tests tonight and it'll be available very soon! We did encounter unexpected shipping costs with shipping International though so it may be a little bit until we're able to ship these worldwide. We think was have a solution though.

I don't often mention my band here as I try to avoid controversy given I make photo accessories for folks. But I'm very proud of how the song cover turned out!

Good evening of developing! Testing out the 10 sheet version of my 4x5 tilted drying rack too!

Speaking of, @pictoriographica.bsky.social hope more plates are coming soon!?

I've had folks asking me when am I going to make a scanning solution for the CS Lite like I have for the Raleno S116 and well...

Freshly lasered 2nd 11x14 prototype base. This one has additional paper markings. I need to make sure they don't print through but the idea is being able to use the same base with multiple paper sizes by having different sized tops.

Apologies for the bumps on our webstore the past couple of days. Been working on making things faster and more reliable but broke some stuff along the way. I think things are mostly sorted now, thanks for everyone's patience!

Testing out our laser cut 11x14 easel! I made both an RC and fiber print with it last night. Works great!

So far my favorite photo (of the ones I've developed) from our trip to Cozumel last week.

Taken with a Nikonos V with the 15mm lens using T-Max 400 and developed in XT-3 replenished.

Really excited to print this one properly in the darkroom!

My latest 11x14 prototype easel base using 1/4" MDF. The thicker MDF is to add heft to the base - it worked! I need to tweak the 3D printed parts for the thicker base among other things but progress was made tonight!

First round of black and white film from our scuba trip to Cozumel drying! Negatives look good by eye - glad I did the film tests.

Nailed it! Only had to do one film test for T-Max 400 in my XT-3 Replenishment. For me, 9:15 is basically spot on. I even got within reach of calculating ISO (392). I've never gotten that close on the first try!

Back from vacay and processing orders! We had lots of orders coming in last week so do bear with us while we work through those. Delivery estimates reflect this so keep an eye on those.

Heading to blue water for some diving with the Nikonos V! See ya'll in a week!

Here's the 8x10 Snapsel prototype! It was a success for both RC and fiber papers, though fiber does require a different approach. There are some small changes I'll want to make but I think the basic design and approach is good. 11x14 here we come!

And yep, I'm still testing Derek's next densitometer too! The cyanotype kit I ordered just arrived. Excited to compare how 510 behaves with it and how that matches the higher UV curve from the stain.
