Hello.
I have just moved house and am putting my darkroom back together. My last darkroom was up in the loft and running water and drainage was quite useful. The new room is the spare bedroom which has a bathroom just across the landing so I am not planning on installing water and drainage to the darkroom. Print washing and film development will be done in the bathroom anyway and I don't mind mixing up the chemistry in the bathroom and carrying it into the darkroom. Quote:

The sequence I gave above is for fibre papers. Most fibre papers are happy with hours of soaking. Kentmere used to suggest no more than an hour or two wet-time for some of their papers but I've had Ilford papers soaking for 12 hours or more when I forgot about them - came out fine... RC will indeed de-laminate at the edges with long soaking but do not need washing for more than a minute or so in running water. I guess several quick changes in still water would do as well but I've never had cause to try that. You do not need a hypo-clear stage in the case of RC paper as the hypo-clear is to help remove the fixer from the paper's fibres which is obviously not an issue with RC paper.

Thanks for the tips Bob, I'd like to move on to FB papers one days so that knowledge will come in handy.

Not had the chance Nick. Was out of the coutry last week so never got around to ordering the damned filter. Stuck in the office writing reports this week and hopefully doing some portraits this weekend.
Don't know about anywhere else but round this way there's virtually no foliage on any of the trees yet. I reckon a few more weeks wait are in order before trying the IR stuff out. |
