Greetings,
I attached a jpg of a UV light source that I use for Palladium printing.
I got the plans out of the book "The History ans Practice of Platinum
Printing" by Luis Nadeau. The unit is a bank of six 24inch GE F20T12-BL
black light tubes on 3 lampholders.Sheetmetal was placed behind the tubes
to reflect the light down to the image. Everything but the bulbs can be
purchased at a well stocked (Lowes/Home Depot) hardware store. Bulbs
were order through an electrical supply house. I don't make images any
larger
then 8x10, this unit will give good even coverage. Total cost I believe was
in
the $100/150 range.

Before making this I used my wifes tanning bed, 24 8ft tubes, very short
exposure
times.
I just purchased a 8x10 contact printing frame from B&S.Have not used yet
but
seems very well made. Heavy plate glass works well also.
New to the group my name is Bill Walsh in MD. I shoot stereo slides and
hope to get setup to make Palladium stereo prints.
My 5x7 stereo camera.

Uses 5x7 sheet film in standard cut film holder. Lenses are 150/5.6
APO Symmars on twin cable release.
Hope I can add something to the group from time to time.
