Daniel P Posted February 21, 2010 Report Share Posted February 21, 2010 Hello all, I recently got my hands on some old slides and some masks to be able to print from these masks. I have never printed from slides before (only been working the in them minilab industry for a couple of years really) and was wondering what type of mask size I would use. Hmmm....uploaded a pic of the slides but I cant seem to get it working. Anyway they are slides that i think are 35mm, with a plastic type frame around them. So what mask would I be using? I assume the 35 = 135 in terms of masks. So could it be a manual mask 135p, reversal mount mask 135f, nega mask 135H ect. The slides I think a "positive' slides. Anyhelp for a photolab n00b would be appreciated. I also have the other equipment (which I have no idea how to use) so does anyone know if there is a tutorial online? (e.g. diffusion box, callibration mask). Cheers, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Christina Rose Posted February 21, 2010 Report Share Posted February 21, 2010 do you have a manual film carrier? also what equipment you have? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daniel P Posted February 25, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 25, 2010 Ummm....the film carrier says NC 100 AC. Does that help? I can remove and slide back the film carrier. And the equipment is just various masks plus the attachment that you put in the film carrier (im assuming). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christina Rose Posted February 25, 2010 Report Share Posted February 25, 2010 for slide ( mounted) printing need following things. 1. manual carrier. 2. 135 mounted slide mask 3. calibration mask ( for scanner correction). calibration mask needed for only doing scanner correction. also need to change scanner input to positive.
