Variable Contrast Printing Manual, The Summary

Variable Contrast Printing Manual, The by Steve Anchell (professional writer, lecturer, and internationally known photographer)

The Variable Contrast Printing Manual is the only comprehensive resource for photographers printing with variable contrast papers. Anchell provides a wealth of techniques and information to enable photographers to achieve the best possible results, and express their unique personal vision. As in his best-selling The Darkroom Cookbook (Focal Press), Anchell has provided the reader with an easy-to-follow approach to a medium that now dominates black-and-white printing.

Stephen G. Anchell has been a freelance and commercial photographer, writer, and instructor for over 25 years. His fine-art black-and-white photography has been internationally exhibited and collected. He teaches workshops and seminars privately, at universities, and for companies such as Agfa, Cachet Fine Art Paper Company, and Sinar-Bron. His writing on photography has appeared in View Camera, Shutterbug, PIC (Great Britain), and PhotoPro magazines. He was a contributing editor to the former Camera and Darkroom magazine, and is a current contributing editor to PhotoWork and Outdoor Photographer magazines.

Variable Contrast Printing Manual, The Reviews

'Steve has done it again! Just as in the wonderful Darkroom Cookbook, he has managed to pull together everything you need to know about printing with multigrade papers. A significant contribution which every black and white darkroom enthusiast should own.'
Joe Englander

'Anchell's text contains a wealth of useful and clearly stated information. It should be a valuable addition to any serious printer's library.'
Alan Ross
'This is a very informative yet easy to read book from which most printers
will pick up a few pointers, even those who have been printing on
variable contrast paper for years.'
Steve Hynes
