I am in the process of contact printing large paper negatives
under my enlarger (using Kodak paper) by just putting negative
and pos. paper under a sheet of glass and printing. As a result
I am getting areas on the print that are not sharp. Is there
a better way of doing this without resorting to purchasing a
large contact printer?
