EACH NEGATIVE THAT YOU ARE MAKING AN ENLARGEMENT FOR NEEDS TO HAVE THIS PROCEDURE DONE EVERY TIME. Allow 15 minutes to make one test strip and enlargement from a single negative. Only one test strip is needed (providing conditions do not change) if you plan to make more than one enlargement from the same negative.
