Thanks for the answer ...
The drying problem is gone ...

Contact printing is what it means : contact between a positive on film and
the sensitised plate ... you have to be carefull for scratches but it works.
On the other hand there are a lot of newtonrings between the glass of the
easel and the film. Is it possible that another sort of film will give less
problems ?

Is it possible to make a projection on the plate plate with my enlarger (Is
there enough UV in the light of a colour DURST enlarger ?

Yes more questions again ...

See you folks,

Marc (Belgium)

To wash dags. Start with a low velocity stream of tap water. Follow up
with distilled water in a wash bottle. Hold plate vertically, slightly
tilted so top is forward. Dry with a hair dryer using low heat. If you
get spots, rewash with more distilled water and dry again.

What do you mean by "contact" printing? You cannot put anything in
contact with a sensitized dag plate.
