8. Zone V Color Printing Aids

If you point your 35mm SLR camera and ExpoDisc towards any light source and
adjust the aperture and shutter speed settings to provide for “normal” exposure

and then trip the shutter, you can also provide for an ideal Zone V neutral
density test slide or negative to aid in printing any slides or negatives exposed on
the same or an identical roll of film, and in that same lighting. To use such an aid:

1. Place the slide or negative to be printed in the enlarger, turn on the enlarger

and adjust its height and focus to project the desired image size on the easel
when that image is in sharp focus. Turn off the enlarger.
2. Replace the slide or negative to be printed with the Zone V test slide or
negative and turn on the enlarger. Adjust the color filtration and exposure
settings to provide for a print tone matching that of 18% neutral gray card. Turn

of the enlarger.
3. Replace the test slide or negative in the enlarger with the slide or negative to
be printed. Recheck the focus and framing, and make the exposure. Turn off the
enlarger. This should provide for a very good proof print of the subject as seen

in “white” light. Then it’s up to you to add the color effect of the ambient lighting
or any other lighting, and to burn and dodge as you choose.
