UV light box construction
Hi all... I am now in possession of a sheet of baltic birch, 12 BL tubes, ballasts and the correct number of 'tombstones' and am almost at what one might call the 'final, too-late-to-change design' stage. I plan on having the lamps on one 'surface' of the birch 'plate' and the ballasts on the upper. I have planned to have this "rack" sitting on a 1 inch support around the interior of the box to facilitate easy access when (and if) any of the parts need changing. Before I commit the sheet of plywood to the table saw, I have to believe that some users may have found there to be an optimum distance between the lamps, along with the distance from the lamps to the top of the print frame. Practical advice would be very much appreciated. Ken Quando omni flunkus moritati (Red Green's Possum Lodge)
