To ensure complete exposure of the material, the glass is one inch larger all around than the 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.
