Several folks have set up UV enlargers of one sort or another -- Art
Chakalis for one. As I recall, his time was 10 minutes for an 8x10. Which
would probably mean about 20 min to half an hour for an 11 by 14. In that
half hour you could make the enlarged negative. And then ANOTHER half
hour for each coat, of course... (And how long for 16 by 20? )
