Have you used an I.S.E Contact Printer for 35mm?
Do the contact sheets show the frame numbers?
Any problems with the top plate NOT being glass?

I have a Paterson and the slots are coming unstuck.
Am considering alternatives eg printing in Print File sheets.

Your experience and advice is much appreciated.
Thanks

I print through printfile sheets, numbers do show up. I dont use a contact printer though, I just throw a piece of glass over the printfile / paper. I bought an 11x14 piece of glass years ago just for that.
 
My best is a Myoplex, wood base covered with felt, plexiglass hinged cover, holds 6 strips if 35 mm 6 frames long. Film is held in channels in plexi at 45 degree, one for top , one for bottom of each strip.

I bought it around 1960 so it is probably hard to find.

You can tape negs to back of heavy glass, not window glass. Have the shop break the corners.

I would not like printing through plastic. Makes the image fuzzy.
