Hello Carl,
To awnser your question....yes/yes.
Indeed you have two very small puncture holes at the edges of the negative.
This is where the nove clip holds the negative/print. There are no further
clipmarks to be seen as long as you put the negatives in the clip correctly.
The nova clip suppurts the back of the negative/paper and my experience is
that if you put the negative in the clip with the emulsion side against the
support side, you get uneven developmend at that spot. after i discovered
this and put the negativ in the clip with the emulsion side directed to the
needles that hold the negative this problem seesed to occur. the puncture
holes are very small by the way, and even on original negs i dit not find
this disturbing in the final print. As you stated yourself if you use it for
internegs you'll have no problem what so ever as you can trim of the edges.
I do this also.
Your second question is also a yes. Indeed you can ownly process one
neg/print at a time. But since this is my hobby, and have a stereo i can
listen in the dark to "The unacompanied cello suites from Bach played by
Yo-Yo-Ma", (takes two hours) without any visual interference whatsoever!!
I'm in no hurry.
Greetings Gerard de Vrueh

Gerard,
I'd wondered about using the Nova units for sheet film.
Two questions: do you wind up with clip marks on the negatives? And, is
this strictly a one-sheet-at-a-time approach?
It strikes me that if the answer is yes, this could still be a really
good approach for internegative work where you can leave a border for
the clip and generally can have quick process times. Less appropriate
for in-camera originals meant for direct contact printing.
