Re: Contact printing frames

If I understand you correctly, I would suggest 5x7 or 8x10 frames. This
will give you room to use a larger piece of paper, (not sure what process
you are using) which is typical for printers when coating say platinum or
other brush coated processes. This also allows for negative "growth" as it
were, if and when you go to a larger negative, without much increase in cost
for the frames.
