STEP 2 : PRINTING FROM NEGATIVES / The darkroom
As we saw earlier , you do not need a dark- room to process film . But if you want the enjoyment of making your own prints and enlargements , some sort of temporary or , better still , permanent darkroom is essential . It is not difficult to convert a room for this , and there are several advantages to having your own darkroom . It means that pictures can be produced more quickly and cheaply than by using a commercial processor . With your own darkroom you can manipulate the image to achieve the result you want .
Fitting out a permanent darkroom
If you have the facilities , a permanent dark- room is ideal . A room about 9 x 7 ft ( 2.7 × 2.1 m ) , perhaps an unused bedroom , is large enough . It must be really light - tight , but with sufficient ventilation for long periods of work ; you may find that some kind of additional ventilation is necessary once you have blocked out the light .
Ideally you should divide the room into " wet " and " dry " areas . This not only re- duces mistakes , but , since water and elec- trical equipment are being used close to each other under dark or dim conditions , is also safer . Keep the enlarging and contact print- ing equipment and printing paper on the dry side of the room . A large bench which drains into the sink is useful on the wet side ; place on this all the processing dishes , ranged from the sink in reverse order of use . The supply of water and the sink enable you to wash prints and equipment , mix solutions etc. Place the safelight at the height recom- mended by the manufacturer above the developing dish .
Adapting a closet
If you cannot take over a whole room per- manently , you can use a large closet as a darkroom . It must have an electricity supply and , preferably , a white light so that you can see to clean and prepare the darkroom for printing . Just as with the permanent darkroom it is important not to keep out all the air with the light and some sort of elec- trical ventilator may be necessary .
In this confined space it is even more important that the " wet " and " dry " opera- tions are strictly separated , and even greater precautions should be taken to avoid spill- age of liquids . If you do not have a supply of water , use a pail to rinse your hands between operations and another water - filled pail to put the fixed prints in before taking them outside to be washed properly .
