  1. HOW TO MAKE TEST STRIPS AND ENLARGEMENTS IN THE MGJH COMMUNICATION TECHNOLOGIES DARKROOM

  2. THIS IS AN ENLARGER It is used to make photographic prints (enlargements) from negatives

  3. THESE ARE NEGATIVE CARRIERS They are used to hold negatives in the enlarger

  4. THE NEGATIVE IS PLACED IN THE CARRIER WITH THE EMULSION (dull side) DOWN It is also best to place the negative upside down in the carrier so the image is oriented correctly to the person using the enlarger

  5. PLACE THE NEGATIVE AND CARRIER BACK INTO THE ENLARGER
