Also Theo, as you are at Uni, where studying will take up a good bit of your time (which Uni out of interest and what are you studying?), PERSONALLY I would stick with learning one process well before trying to learn the other. And again personally, I would start out with just B/W and learn it well. A lot learnt with this process, will then put you in a place of better understanding, when you then come to have a go at colour. Just a suggestion of course.

Yes sorry it is a typo, it should read 800sq ins.

I think I can agree with you and stick for the time being with one process. Colour is or can be a bit of a money pit especially with th price of colour negative film , Chemicals, and some of the equipment getting very expensive,

John & Terry,
Thanks for your messages. I see what you mean, it's both expensive and a lot to learn for my brain, especially with uni. However I found this opportunity to use some of the equipment (including a Super chromega c dichroic enlarger worth £600) that's already here. I also may be able to scrounge some funding for the remaining ~£200 worth of equipment to get the uni darkroom in working order again. When I will have another chance like this, I will never know.

So I think I'll stick to B&W when at home (as all my own equipment is still there), and meanwhile focus on colour here at uni. I'm at University of Liverpool studying Ancient History with Spanish, but I spend a lot of my time doing sport and acting too so my time is of the essence, but I think I will be able to figure it out, especially because this is a solo hobby. Any learning and research for this can be done when waiting for buses or having a cup of tea yaknow. I like to keep busy aha.

I respect your advice but I think I'm gonna give it a go, experimenting is what printing and art is all about.

Thanks again, learning so much thanks to this forum
Theo
