Whether you're making cyanotypes, sun prints, or other alternative processes that use a contact printing frame, the 20 x 24" Select Contact Print Frame from Photographers' Formulary is an ideal choice to make your personalized work. The frame is made of a solid 2" ash wood with a felt-lined 1/2" plywood that is hinged, so it can be easily removed from the frame. By placing the material against the museum-grade glass, positioning the felt-lined backing, and closing it with the swing arm locking mechanism, it keeps the print completely flat for exposure to light. To ensure complete exposure of the material, the glass is one inch larger all around than the print.
- Solid 2" Ash Wood Frame
- Swing Arm Locking Mechanism
- Window is 1" Larger than Print

Worked Great Right Out of the Box!
I needed a larger printing frame, fast, for a cyanotype project I'm working on. The sheet of plate glass and foam pad I was using didn't create enough pressure for a sharp contact print. I'm glad I found this frame! I was pleased with the price and relieved it was in stock. It arrived the next day and didn't need any alteration before I started using it. I'm not an expert on glass composition, but the glass provided with the frame is clear (as expected) and cyanotypes expose at a speed comparable to times I get with a sheet of low iron glass I have in a smaller frame. The rubber feet are a welcome addition that makes it easier to pick up this substantial frame. It creates plenty of pressure to keep the negative in contact with a sheet of sumi-e paper (which can be slightly wavy) and yields sharp prints.

I needed a larger printing frame quickly, for a Cyanotype project, and was happy to find this affordably priced one. The frame arrived the day after I ordered it online and I started using it the same day. The one I received is sturdily built. The glass is as I expected it to be, clear: not frosted. The exposure times are comparable to exposures made through a piece of low iron glass I have in a smaller frame. The rubber feet are a nice touch, they make it easier to get your fingers under the frame to pick it up.
