Title: large format screen exposure in the Austin, TX area
Post by: Bearded Lady on August 28, 2017, 01:20:19 PM
I moved into a new spot and had to change my screen room set up and exposure equipment to fit in the space.  I recently bought a used Tri-Light that is still waiting for a piece of glass and an outlet.  It doesn't look like it will come together for me this week and I have a poster job due on friday.  I'm looking for a shop in the Austin, TX area that can handle a larger format screen exposure.  The frames are 38"x48" at minimum.  42"x50" at maximum.  20"x26" image area.  film positives/ no CTS.  would need to shoot em tue/wed- 8/29 or 8/30.

if anyone out there fits the bill please let me know.

thanks!

You'll probably find someone, especially if there are any local flat-stockers, but just in case...
When I was a tad, with simple blocky area designs (no dots)
I've faked this with just a hunk of glass and ol' Mr. Sol.
A few years back, we had a member down under who went one better, eliminating the glass and adhering the film to the screen with "terps".

Another seat-of-the-pants method is a true vacuum unit utilizing a Space Bag.

Results may vary.
