User Manual (link)

The Artograph Prism is a small, lightweight portable opaque projector.  The “staging” area (the glass you put your image upon) is only about 6″ x 6.”  For larger images either make a photocopy reduction or plan on moving the image around the staging glass as you work.
The Prism uses two 200-watt household-type lightbulbs (400 watts total).
Tips:

• Use a high-contrast image, or line art
• Make sure the room you’re using it in is as dark as possible
• Tape your image to the staging area (masking tape is OK)
• Set the projector where you think you’ll be using it.  Project the image on the wall & move the projector to obtain the correct size you want for the projected image.  Once you get the size right, it is easiest to then leave the projector alone & adjust the paper to the projected image.

A note about the Lens: There IS a lens with this!  It is reversable, and fits inside a housing (tube).  If the lens is pushed in the tube, it can appear as if the lens is missing.  If the lens is reversed, it acts as an image reducer instead of an enlarger.
