Okay, so the time for talking is done, its time to get down to the
nitty-gritty of the test print. I'll explain how I did mine which you
can then adapt for your own. For the original of the flower shot I
exposed for 40 seconds at f11 at maximum head elevation. So I set up the
enlarger exactly the same and opened up the lens 2 stops. I then exposed
for 10 second bursts to form the test strip giving an extra burst at the
end to bring the first band up to 20 seconds. Having set the developing
timer to five minutes just to give me an indication of time, I put the
paper into the tray and adjutate constantly. After 3 1/2 minutes I was
getting worried because the print was still blank, but after 4 minutes I
started to see the feint outline of the print, at 5 minutes I could see
a lot of black so I removed the print to the stop solution and processed
as normal.
