Select Contact 8x10" Print Frame

The Select Contact 8x10" Print Frame is a new film camera accessory built for photographers who produce contact prints and want a reliable, premium frame for the darkroom. It is constructed from solid Ash wood with museum-grade pure glass for optical clarity. The hinged backboard with felt mount allows quick print inspection without removing the artwork.

Upgrade From Basic Frames

This frame replaces flimsy plastic or softwood contact frames that warp under repeated pressure or scratch negatives during loading. The swing-arm design distributes even force across the entire 8x10" area, eliminating the uneven contact that causes Newton rings or density shifts. The extra inch of space prevents cropping on full-frame prints, a common limitation on older Kodak-style models.

Verify Your Darkroom Workflow

Before ordering, confirm that your printing workflow uses 8x10" negatives or paper and that you have a stable, flat surface large enough for the frame's solid 2-inch Ash border. The hinged backboard requires clearance to swing open fully for print changes. Ensure your contact printing light source covers the full frame area evenly. Buyers needing smaller formats or a lighter frame for field use should look elsewhere.
