To be clear, this is the pen issue we're talking about.

There is a large pen offset, when you touch the metal frame of the device while resting your palm on the screen. This only happens on the SP2017 and Surface Book 2 in combination with the new 2017 Surface Pen.

I feel your pain, I've been printing 20x24... with a glass carrier... and contrast masks. So sometimes 8-10 surfaces for dust to collect.

90% of household dust is said to be human skin, so don't lean over your negs too much. Static makes dust stick, so keep the humidity up - run some hot water, get a small humidifier. Darkroom are usually easy to get the humidity up.

Clean your enlarger every few weeks - take off the condensers, disassemble, blow with compressed air, and put a clean trash bag over the enlarger when not using it. heat from the bulb will make dust float around in there.

I use a zerostat gun, but that's pretty luxe. But for $20 or so I rigged up an LED magnifier on a magic arm. My process:

Wipe down the work area with a damp towel and run some hot water (I have an electric kettle that I turn on).

Zerostat the neg if you have one. Then give it a good blast of canned air, front and back. Look at it under the LED light (with no backlight). Twist and turn it so the surface reflects - you'll see individual dust spots. Use a small artist brush to sweep them away.

I clean the glass carrier first (if I use the glass) and inspect it. Then the neg, and seal the neg in the carrier. I'll do a test print and if I see something that's tough to spot, at least I know where to look for it on the neg. Hairs and fibers are much harder to spot (EDIT - by "spot", I mean paint out of the print with spotting dyes as the last step) than dust spots, so avoid wearing those cotton gloves. They seem to dump some fibers.

Are you spotting your prints? It's unavoidable. You'll still get a spot or two, so get some spotting dyes and a #000 and #0000 artist brush (get decent ones, check them out vs. mail order) - use them only for spotting prints. I have long-discontinued Marumi spotting die set, but I do lith printing and toning (so I get reds, browns, ochers, yellows, blues), so I use a good quality watercolor set. I have an awesome loupe with an opening for a paintbrush, so I can actually "paint" film grain back in. That's not necessary for basic spotting but it's nice to have. Sort of the BMW of loupes.

Spotting matte prints is very easy - go light and it will be invisible. Spotting gloss is harder - I use gum arabic powder and mix a little slurry of it to mix with the dyes/watercolors and try to match the gloss. Spotting is an art unto itself, but I really enjoy it, kind of a zen thing. Google has some videos, don't know if they're any good but have a look.

Although I don't personally use one, I've heard good things about the Zerostat 3

u/coffeegnome · 2 pointsr/Coffee

I used one of these during my previous job in a lab. It worked great for eliminating static, but may not be the solution you're looking for.

if you got the cash I hear these are great, just don't shoot yourself with it

It's the insides of a Zerostat:

which is an anti-static gun for vinyl records.

A Zerostat gun is the only commercially available way to truly eliminate existing static completely. That or significantly increase the humidity in your room but that's no guarantee to fix the problem.Wet cleaning works pretty well but sometimes doesn't kill it totally.

Some materials are just a pain in the ass to work with. I've seen a fine powder jump out of a vial after grabbing the vial with a neoprene glove, ugh.

A few options.

Alpha emitter anti-static device - Works well, contains polonium!

Anti-static gun - Works, maybe not as well as the alpha emitter. But no polonium!!! Originally made for the vinyl record loving audiophiles.

Oscillating anti-static bars - expensive and not really conducive to a small localized area such as a TGA sample.

There seems to be quite a few other variations on that AMSTAT site (I'm not affiliated), but these are the ones I'm familiar with. My experience was mostly dealing with static in a O2/H2O free glovebox, humidity greatly reduces static.

Not at all. Nothing actually comes off of the silicone even if you sit there and rub it as hard as you can with you finger or even a key or something. It is tacky rubber-like material that is just tacky enough to lift up dust and crap from the record. No residue and since nothing is coming off to wear it out, it seems to last forever. I've had mine for years and with a little water and dishsoap it is like new when I wash it every few days.

I will say that this is NOT for people with really dirty records. Get a SpinClean or something for that. But once your records are clean, this roller will be all you need to keep them that way 99% of the time. It WILL clean very dirty records, but it will fill up and need rinsed too often to be practical if they are really dirty.

My routine is to SpinClean every record I buy. Put it in a Mofi inner sleeve (with the inner sleeve facing UP inside the outer jacket to keep out dust), then a poly outer sleeve. When I get something out to play, I hit it for 5 seconds with the silicone roller and everything is clean as a whistle. I have got a carbon fiber brush in a drawer somewhere and a Groove Washer sitting next to my turntable, but 99% of the time this roller is all I need.

(Another thing about this thread... anti-static brushes don't get rid of static electricity, they just don't introduce more static. Same for Mofi inner sleeves. The ONLY thing I have found besides a wet wash to really kill static is a Milty Zerostat.)

Try one of these: http://www.amazon.com/Milty-Zerostat-Anti-Static-Gun-Blue/dp/B0033SHDSS

they're very effective in my opinion.

Works like a charm to prevent the powder from sticking to the sides of the vial

u/MiyamotoKnows · 1 pointr/vinyl

My Zerostat goes rat a tat tat. Why are you resisting? A quick hundo on Amazon and your static is gone.

u/[deleted] · 1 pointr/vinyl

Thanks. Is this what you mean?

I just ordered a cork mat and some new sleeves as suggested below. Hopefully that will do it, but if not, I'll buy one of these too.

I use the zerostat. It's not at all perfect, but it does help here in the winter months.

u/gannex · 1 pointr/chemistry

I don't know much about powder dosing robots, but have you tried hitting it with a zerostat gun?
