Flashing and Fogging aid for Photographic Materials

The PaperFlasher makes it easy to flash and fog photographic materials to control contrast and add tone to otherwise blank areas and can breathe new life into blocked-up highlights on prints. It comprises a tiny, lightweight, electronically stabilised light source and a battery-operated control box and timer. The light source can be mounted on the darkroom ceiling, on the enlarger lensboard, or in any other convenient position using Blu-Tack, double-sided tape, Velcro or similar. The timer is easy to use, and incorporates a novel test-strip generator for quick and accurate determination of the amount of exposure required. The exposure time can range from 1.0 seconds up to 84 seconds, and is microprocessor controlled to one tenth of a second accuracy. Uses for the PaperFlasher are legion – pre- and post-flashing exposures for contrast control, controlled fogging to add tone to blank areas of a print, fogging of print borders, pseudo-solarisation of prints while in the developer (the Sabattier effect), etc. etc. For full information view the Users Manual.
