Film Cleaner and Anti-Static Cloth

Video Transcript

"Two really important items I like to keep around my light table are this; film cleaner and this anti-static cloth. And what they do is help clean up a negative. No matter sometimes how careful I am or how hard I try to keep negatives clean, some where in the washing process or the drying process, you might develop water marks. Or little tiny not even stains, they're just little marks that you'll see using your lip on the negative. So this cloth is a great thing to use, because you can just pull out your negative and take it and you just sort of go like this. And there's not even any chemistry, it's a beautiful way of cleaning a negative. One of my favorite things to do. A lot of times too, in any kind of darkroom, even if you're a really meticulously clean you're going to have dust around. There's really no way to beat it, and these cloths will really help you keep the dust down when you're printing. If that doesn't work, one other thing that I really like to use just film cleaner. A little bit of film goes a long way in cleaning my negatives. You can also just use isopropyl alcohol."
