Enlarger Filter Draws
| One thing you may like to take into account when buying an enlarger is having the convenience of a filter draw which accepts filters between the illumination head and the negative. Both diffusion and condenser enlargers often have filter draws. This can be used in the following ways.

 |
| 1 To change the grade of paper when using multi grade paper. |

| 2. CC filters to allow colour printing. This is a little more cumbersome than dichroic mixing head, but can still allow you to print colour. |  |
| 3 To soften the light source by inserting a diffuser. |
|
Be aware that filters for enlargers come in various sizes, and you need to get the size to fit the enlarger. 4X5 enlargers need much larger filters than 120 or 35mm. Sometimes these filters need to be cut down to fit the draw.
