*Hand made Contact Printing Frames                                                      

These are beautifully made to traditional standards in cherry wood, and are considered the finest on the market.
Contact printing frames are especially useful when printing off large format negatives and are the only way of making prints off the largest of negatives, from 11x14 to 20x24 inch.

Used for most alternative photographic processes in which a large-format negative is exposed in contact with a positive carrier:

When placed in the contact printing frame, the negative is brought into direct contact with the printing paper. These are pressed firmly together across the entire surface to ensure high quality print sharpness and quality. During print exposure dodging and burning-in in selected areas may be achieved as with standard print making through an enlarger.

This design is meant for practitioners for whom the existing products are too feeble.
Lotus contact printing frames are manufactured of waxed cherrywood with a split back for better handling (you can check your print without moving it) with anodized black springs and also two aluminium bars where you slip the springs.
The back is covered with dense felt.

A Lotus Contact Printing Frame will last a lifetime and will please the eye as well as your demands for perfect functioning.
