5x7 Simpleasel - A Brand New Simple Darkroom Easel

Description: My take on a simple darkroom easel inspired somewhat by the Speed-EZ line of easels. As those are no longer being made, they can sometimes be hard to find. I wanted an easel that was easy to use when making standard sized prints which was as easy or easier to use than a Speed-EZ. This is what I came up with. Multiple bordered options are available - 1/4" or 1/8" and a 4x6 crop. The 4x6 crop includes guidemarks to it easy to cut down to a 4x6 size including a 1/8" border. Custom tops are also available upon request (such as if you want to print from a square negative). To use, simply place the easel base (the white part) on your enlarger baseboard as you would any other easel. Place the print down, emulsion side up of course making sure it's inside the recessed area. Then place the top (the black part) on top of the print making sure the inlay sits in the recessed area. Make an exposure! To remove the paper, place your finder under the cutout/notch on the base and lift up on the top. Then place your finger on the notch all the way in to touch the edge of the paper and lift up. This is designed by me and are printed on demand using Black and White Atomic PLA with my modified Prusa MK3s 3D printers. It should bring you years of reliable use when using it for its intended purpose and storing it appropriately (namely don't store it in super hot spaces, like an attic).
