Printable worksheets

Everything in this course that asks you to write something down asks for the same few kinds of record: what you did and saw, what you exposed and how, what went into a particular litre of developer, and how far an instrument sits from a reference. These are those records, ruled up and ready to print.

A worksheet is not a lesson

There is no explanation on any sheet below. A worksheet carries the fields, in the order the work happens, with enough room to write, and nothing else — because it is used at a bench, in a hurry, often with wet hands, by somebody who has already read the page that explains why the field is there. Where a field needs explaining, the explanation stays on the lesson page, and each worksheet links the pages it came from underneath its sheets.

No field on any of these sheets was invented. Every one is something a written page of this course asks a student to record, and each worksheet names those pages. A build-time check refuses a link that does not resolve, so a sheet cannot outlive the lesson that required it. Where a sheet has an obvious field that this course has not earned the right to ask for — a measured optical density before the sensitometry parts are written, an acceptance limit for a timer nobody has characterised — the sheet says so rather than inventing one.

Printing them

Print from the browser: File → Print, or Ctrl/⌘ + P. Three things are already handled and one is worth checking.

Paper size is not forced. The sheets are drawn to the intersection of A4 (210 × 297 mm) and US Letter (216 × 279 mm), which is a box 180 mm wide and 250 mm tall, so the same file prints correctly on either without scaling. Leave the print dialogue’s scale at 100 per cent.

The margins are set by the sheet, at 15 mm at the top and sides and 14 mm at the foot. If your print dialogue offers its own margin setting, leave it at default; setting it to “none” will not gain you anything, because the sheet’s own box is what positions the rules.

Navigation, the sidebar and this course’s own furniture are dropped, and so is everything on a worksheet page except the sheets themselves. What comes out of the printer is the form.

Backgrounds are not needed. Every rule, box and border on a sheet is a border rather than a fill, so the sheets print correctly with your browser’s “background graphics” option switched off, which is where most browsers leave it.

✦Print one sheet, not the whole worksheet

Each sheet starts a new page, in the order they appear, so the print dialogue’s page range is the way to take one sheet rather than the set. The sheet code in the top right of each — LN-2, CA-3 — is what to write on a filled copy when you file it.

The version at the foot of every sheet

Every sheet carries the course name, its own code, a version number and the address it came from, at the foot, on every page. That is not decoration. A filled sheet is evidence, and evidence is worth what its provenance is worth: a year from now, the version tells you which form you were using, and therefore which fields you were asked for and which you were not. When a sheet changes, its version changes, and a filled copy of version 1.0 stays a valid record of what version 1.0 asked.

The sheets

• The laboratory notebook entryKind NotebookSheets LN-1, LN-2, LN-3, LN-4, LN-5Version v1.1Revised 2026-09-06One session across four sheets, split by the moment each is filled in: what you set out to test, what you actually weighed and did, what you saw, and the one change you will make next.
• The exposure logKind LogSheets EX-1, EX-2, EX-3, EX-4Version v1.0Revised 2026-09-05One card per exposure, with the fields written before the shutter opens kept apart from the ones written after, and a collation sheet that turns a season of them into your material's effective speed and its reciprocity exponent.
• The formula version recordKind RecordSheets FV-1, FV-2, FV-3, FV-4Version v1.0Revised 2026-09-05The record a version code points at — what was actually weighed into one litre, by whom, in what water, at what pH — and, on the second pair of sheets, the one change a variant makes with the prediction that decides whether it was worth making.
• The calibration record setKind CalibrationSheets CA-1, CA-2, CA-3, CA-4, CA-5, CA-6, CA-7, CA-8, CA-9, CA-10, CA-11Version v1.1Revised 2026-09-06One instrument at a time, each sheet following its procedure step by step — the balance, the thermometer, the pH meter, the graduate and the timer. Every reading gets a deviation and every deviation gets an action.
• The characteristic-curve recordKind CalibrationSheets SN-1, SN-2, SN-3, CP-4Version v1.1Revised 2026-09-06One strip, one curve: the conditions that made it, the twenty-one step readings with the reading method's own resolution beside them, and the four figures read off the plot with their constructions named.
• The salted-paper session recordKind RecordSheets SP-1, SP-2, SP-3, SP-4Version v1.0Revised 2026-09-07Four sheets for Part XXII's two labs, split by the moment they are filled in: the coating bench, then the bath closed out with the mass balance that turns a coating method into grams per square metre; then the print to its end point, and the baths, densities and residual tests after it.
• The capstone recordKind RecordSheets CS-1, CS-2, CS-3, CS-4, CS-5, CS-6, CS-7, CS-8, CS-9Version v1.0Revised 2026-09-07The sheets the capstone needs and no earlier session did: the project plan, the whole-project hazard assessment and waste plan, the schedule with its immovable waits pre-printed, the pinhole calculation, the portfolio label, the rubric self-assessment, and the report outline.

What is not here yet

The course brief names two more printable products that are not worksheets and are not here: the standard operating procedures, which are already written and already print, and the student inventory, which belongs with the laboratory planner rather than with these.

Within the worksheets themselves, the gaps are named on each page, and the largest of them has closed. The notebook used to record density as a rank judged against a named reference, because no written page asked a student for a measured optical density; Parts XIII to XV now do, and the notebook carries LN-5, measured density and exposure, with units. That happened the way this page said it would — as a new version of the sheet with a new version number, so that sheets you have already filled in stay readable as what they were, which is the whole reason the versions are printed on them.

What is still refused is a limit rather than a sheet. The curve-plotting set prints no acceptance figure for the reading spread, the illumination falloff or the agreement with a published curve; the salted-paper set prints none for the fix-down; the capstone rubric prints no pass mark. In each case the course has established none, and a printed number gets believed.
