Response to Proof sheets

Many years ago before my dad allowed me to use the darkroom, I used to contact print in my bathroom utilizing a contact printing frame, a desk lamp with a 40 or 60 watt bulb (don't recall exactly) and AZO paper. It's primitive but it worked then,it should work now. As I recall the biggest problem was getting the light even (I used an old Weston Master V to measure all the corners and the center...very fussy!!) As far as processing I just,hooked up a safelight, used the any available flat surface that would accomodate 8x10 trays and used the sink for a washer. You are limited to late night of course and it helped that there was no window in my bathroom. A towel rolled up at the bottom of the door helps to shut out the light.
