Print processing
The exposed print is processed on the " wet " side of the darkroom by a developing and fixing procedure similar to that for the film . A latent image has been formed wherever light reached the paper during exposure .. Since more light passed through the clear parts of the negative than the darker parts , the print will be a positive image with dark shadows and light highlights .
Equipment and procedure
The basic equipment for print processing , shown below , differs from that used for film . You need three trays - one for each of the chemicals instead of a developing tank , and the procedure takes place under orange safelighting rather than in darkness . You use the same type of stop bath and fixer as before , but you need a faster acting developer , which is more concentrated .
The usual development time for paper- based paper is about two minutes . Resin- coated ( " plastic - based " ) papers , described on the opposite page , need shorter times in all the processing stages than paper - based papers their development time is only about one and a quarter minutes .
Maintain the developer temperature at 68 ° F ( 20 ° C ) throughout ; this may mean housing the developer tray inside another , larger tray containing warm , or cool , water . Give the prints their full development time ; even if they seem to be coming up too dark , give them the full two minutes and make any corrections by altering the exposure time , not the development .

Each of the three plastic trays must be big enough to hold the largest print you intend to make regularly ; the one you use for fixing should be slightly bigger because it will accumulate work . The developer and stop bath should be diluted for use , then thrown away after each printing session . You can keep the fixer mixed at work- ing strength in its tray or a bottle . Use three different colored plastic tongs , one for each tray , to pre- vent mixing the solutions when transfering the prints .
Basic sequence
The print pro- cessing sequence is also develop , stop or rinse , fix , then wash . Care- fully space the trays to avoid one solution contami- nating another .
Print processing sequence
1. Check that the temperature of the developer is 68 ° F ( 20 ° C ) and make a note of the develop- ment time before you start . Slide the paper , face down , into the developer .
2. Turn the paper over using the tongs so that the emulsion side of the paper is face up and even- ly coated with developer .
3. Gently rock the tray to keep the paper constantly moving . After about 30-40 seconds an image should start to appear on the paper . Always give the full development time .
4. When development time is complete lift out the print and allow it to drain . Then lower the print into the stop bath ( or water ) , releasing the tongs before they reach the solution .
5. Pull the print through the stop bath with the stop bath tongs and transfer it to the fixer with the fixer tongs . Paper - based prints should remain in normal type fixer for at least 10 minutes .
6. Once the print has been in the fixer for about one minute you can examine it in normal light to decide whether it should be darker ( needing more expo- sure ) or lighter ( needing less exposure ) . Prints can remain in the fixer for up to 20 minutes without harm .
