At last, after travelling the world, we have found a low-cost answer for holding your paper safely and securely on the enlarger baseboard. Made in two sizes, for standard and bigger enlargements, these American-made metal easels make it simple to equip educational darkrooms.


They are designed to hold your paper down during exposure without an over-mask which means you can print to the full edge of the paper. They also include special 'finger-life' notches for removing the paper after you've completed your exposure.


Although available in two 'maximum' sizes, both easels include two adjustable paper guides with locking knobs meaning whatever paper size you use on the easel it is held simply in place with the clamping paper guides.


They will also last a lifetime as they are constructed in a non-reflective black epoxy finish making the easels both sturdy and functional.

Charlotte ★★★★★

Finally, a masking frame that doesn’t slide around mid-exposure—the build feels solid enough for daily darkroom work. It held my 16x20 paper flat with zero fuss, and the price makes it a no-brainer for anyone tired of jury-rigging corners.

Timothy D. ★★★★★

The paper stays perfectly flat and aligned under the masking arms, which lock into place with a reassuring click. For 16x20 prints, it's finally nice to have an easel that doesn't shift around mid-exposure.

Brian N. ★★★★★

Finally swapped out my old janky easel for this one and the paper stays perfectly flat on the baseboard during exposure, no more curling edges. The 16x20 size handles my bigger prints without any wiggle, and for the price it's a solid upgrade for my darkroom sessions.
