Light Tables and Light Boxes

Using a Light Table
A light table has many uses in art – whether you are a photographer who is using the table to examine film slides and negatives, or an artist working on cell animation, stained glass assembly, tracing illustrations, silk screening, stenciling, and so much more. For projects with intense details, the light table can be a true time saver. Using a light table is simple. With most light tables, you will simply:

  • Plug in the table.
  • Switch the power to “on”.
  • Place the material you want to work on upon the surface of the table.
  • Attach any artwork with the edge clip.
  • Adjust the table to an angle that is comfortable for viewing.
  • To inspect negatives and slides in great detail, use a jeweler’s loup.
  • Avoid pressing on the glass excessively. This can cause cracking of the light table screen.
