Vacuum Easels or Vacuum Frames? It sounds like the post are describing
vacuum frames. I might have missed something here, but vacuum easels or
flat without an covering and vacuum frames have a top piece of glass.
All vacuum easels that I have seen are hard metal while all vacuum
frames had a rubber bladder that fits tightly with the glass under
vacuum.

My vacuum easel has a hard wooden surface. But the flexible polyester
sheet
overlaying it will conform to irregularities in the negative and paper.
If
I were using glass instead, the easel would be constructed of rubber,
providing the same degree of flexibility. Glass over a rubber easel
would
be "typical" of most commercially available units.
