Re: Stouffer 21 Step Wedges in Europe



Hi,

First, I'd like to thank everyone for the kind words about our step wedges. Projekti, you can order direct from us as a few have mentioned.

At the Freestyle site the gray scales they have shown are our reflection step wedges. However, in their description they refer to the Platemaker 21 step which is the transmission step wedge normally used for alt. process. I'll have to look into that and make sure their image matches their description.

Sincerely,

Kevin Morris

Hi,

At FREESTYLE, I found the Stouffer Gray Scale 21 step, model 19721. Is this the Stepwedge everybody has been referring to recently. My curiosity is piqued. I am am familiar with the Kodak circular step wedge and have used it to determine exposure and contrast when printing. What advantage does the Stouffer step wedge give me? I'm new to this, so any information would be very helpful.

Where else in the US can I get a Stouffer; B&H doesn't seem to have one :(

Cheers,
Bogdan

Hi,
where do you all European alt-photo printers purchase your standard Stouffer (or similar) 21 step wedges. I can find several suppliers in USA, but none in Europe ???
