Photographers' Formulary 11x14" Split-Back Contact Print Frame #07-2005

SKU CH-S8H6-26HW0

A split-back contact print frame with a felt-lined hinged back for print inspection and pressure clips to hold negatives secure during printing

  • Split-back design allows print inspection without disturbing the negative
  • Felt-lined hinged back board protects the paper during exposure
  • Pressure clips hold the negative securely in place
  • Frame built one inch larger than the quoted 11x14 size
  • Constructed from high-quality hard wood for durability

Frame Design and Construction

The Photographers' Formulary Split-Back Contact Print Frame is built from high quality hard wood with a felt-lined, hinged back board. Pressure clips hold the negative secure during exposure. Each frame is made one inch bigger than the quoted size for practical handling.

Workflow Upgrade from Improvised Setups

This frame replaces makeshift glass-and-board arrangements that shift during printing. The hinged back allows inspection without losing registration, so the jump is worth it when repeatable contact prints are needed for alternative-process work.

Sustained Darkroom Use

The hard wood construction resists warping under repeated wet/dry cycles in the darkroom. Felt lining protects emulsion surfaces during long exposures, while the clips maintain even pressure across the full 11x14 inch area throughout the session.
