There is a chain thing hanging down like those cheap plastic Bogan chain things for backdrops. The chain goes up to your focusing knob so you can focus when the enlarger is way up there and you are way down there. The you stick the paper in there and hit the timer. You cant use a safelight because when they make paper that size they make it very much more sensitive, faster. But who needs to see? Then I feed it into the machine and it comes out dry and flat 3 minutes later. I think for 15 bucks. Then i charge several hundred dollars for the print i don't have to be Ralph Gibson to do that. It's Big. Blow up bunch of dirt in a mud puddle that size and it will look good. Anything looks good if you just blow it up big enough.
