Re: Nu Arc Users?

Nu Arc Users?I bought mine for $250, on eBay. It is a FT17. About half the size of a 26. It maxes out at 11 x 14. I figure if I need anything bigger than that, I will be doing this full time and making tons of money ;-).

BTW Metal halide lamps do not work well for cyanotype, I have heard. A mercury vapor works for most things. Carbon arc models should be avoided like a William Shatner poetry festival!

  I think the one that just went on ebay was a very fair price. Has an integrater, nice size. I have never used a 1000w so I am assuning exp times would be longer but good price never the less. I believe it to be right in line with the used dealers prices when I was shopping.

    Thank you, Jim. Would you (or anyone else on the list) venture to guess what a reasonable price would be for one of these used? Yea, I know it's whatever the seller can get, but there must be some sort of roughly average going rate.

    Thank you, Jim. The unit you are using looks a whole lot nicer than what I was looking at, so I'm going to hold out and continue my search.

    Does anyone on the list use a Nu Arc FT26V? I was considering buying one
    sometime in the future, and I'm wondering if anyone could tell whether this
    particular model is a good one for alt processes (or if anyone can recommend
    a specific burner).

    Thanks.
