Re: Thinking of building a UV contact box...

Highly effective, but printing times would be incredibly short, much
too short to be practical in my estimation. If you want to contact
print with traditional silver papers just hang a light bulb three or
four feet from the printing frame. I have printed with AZO this way
and exposure times are in the 5-10 second range with a 65 watt R40
bulb. And AZO is much slower than silver papers destined for
projection printing. For regular silver printing a five or ten watt
bulb will probably provide all the light you need.
