Printing w/o easel

hi,

on a thread of photo.net, i saw an article which instroduced a method
of printing w/o easel, it seems interesting to me, but i believe i am
not well understood what she said. can anyone please unfold the
details to me? thanks.

"I have a easel, but I don't use it since I read somewhere about this
solution that I found very good: With an adesive spray and a piece of
plane wood. Spraying one side of the wood, You get an adesive easel.
You put paper in the adesive side of the piece of wood, expose, and
gentle remove the paper. I found this very practical."

It's simple: you just need to read what they wrote.

Translation: take a piece of flat wood. Spray it with sticky stuff.
Stick the paper to it. Expose. Peel off and develop.

Sounds a little messy for my liking, but whatever.

Don't EVEN go there. Whoever wrote that is a keyboard printer.

??? "Keyboard printer"? 'Splain yourself.

Besides which, why is this thread in the "large print edition"?

The type of adhesive you use is important. Too sticky, and you won't be able
to easily remove the paper for developing. You want a "re-positionable" or
"low-tack" adhesive, similiar to that used on post-it notes.
The adhesive will lose it's stickiness due to dust collecting on it and you
will have to give it another coat of spray. Eventually, the board will get
so gummed up and messy that you will give it up in favor of a real
borderless easel.

[gory details snipped]

Two more methods of printing borderlessly to consider:

1. Vacuum easel: board with small holes drilled in it connected to
vacuum source (vacuum cleaner could be used).

2. Sheet of glass placed over paper.

Can't vouch for how effective the second method is, but the first one
works well if you want to go to the trouble.

Check out these materials via Google. 3M ReMount and
3M Spray Mount. Also you can search by, MMM 6091, MMM 6065,
and MMM 6064.
Steve Anchell has detailed a Sticky Easel in his Darkroom
Cook book. I've read good reports for both the 3M and Anchell's
Sticky easels.
I tested a wet paper method. Sponge dried the paper rested
quite flat upon a pre-positioned support. I'll be doing some
more work with that method. Dan

okay, i begin to understand the method but .... after focusing, how
to put the new printing paper in the same position as the focusing
paper?

thanks.

Printing without an easel is no problem with flat RC paper. Just put some
removeable marks on the baseboard so you know where to position the paper.

Unfortunately FB paper often doesn't stay flat, so you need either an
easel or one of the many other methods (vacuum, adhesive, etc.)

Just put a tiny piece of masking tape on the board to guide the placement
of real paper.

Heck, I use just a couple pencils when printing RC paper without anything
