KaiKlindt Does anyone have any tips on how to dry sheet films properly? If I hang them up using film clips, they leave ugly marks. Would it perhaps be better to leave the sheet films in the canister (I have the large 2500 model from Jobo) to dry?
Urnes Using a clothes peg on the washing line. OK. Clothes pegs often don’t hold very well. But you can often get those mini clothes pegs in craft shops. People used to use them to clip bits of paper together. And then, if you clip one to a corner of the washing line, you’ll end up with a tiny mark on the black area of the film edge. Then the water can drain off over the opposite side. An alternative would be to dry the films in developing hangers (you know those metal racks?!) in an old deep tank or a rack. Regards, Sven.
TiMo I use clips like these: They have a very specific clamping range. Clip them right up close to a corner. Then attach them to the line using an S-shaped hook.
TobiasCallenius Hello, I use simple wooden clothes pegs. They absorb a bit of moisture, which makes the friction very strong. I’ve never had a sheet film fall off the peg. Best regards, Tobias
CPD Another option is to push a bent paperclip through the corner of a sheet of sheet film. Fuji sheet film already has a hole in the corner. I personally use miniature wooden clothes pegs from a toy shop. They work perfectly. Bye!
Ewald I place my sheet films in a vertical stainless steel rack. This means each film only has three points of contact. Best regards, Ewald
Patrick Hi, I can confirm that works with the wooden clothes peg; I’ve always been able to position it so that the mark it leaves stays outside the frame. Otherwise, a pin works well too – I think it’s better than a bent paperclip, as it’s sharper. You can’t really go wrong with that, and the film dries nicely without any marks. Best regards, Patrick.
