Hello,
I know their has been much discussion about mercury halide exposure
units and blacklight fluorescent exposure units on this list...and yes I

have read the archives and Sandy Kings very informative article on this
subject. But i don't seem to find any information on the real world
printing ie: how to deal with the warm up aspects of homemade ( without
light integrators) mercury halide exposure.
If the light has to be on and warm up to full brightness, how do you put

the negative and light sensitive paper in your vacuum frame? Is it with

the light on and just be quick about it? If you turn off the light
during loading the frame, then you have to wait for the lamp to cool off

before restarting it and then it has to warm up again... Seems like it
all goes in a circle.

Thanks for your imput,
Robert Newcomb
