Ive never done photographic printing. What is the procedure?
Since photographic emulsions are highly sensitive to light, they require a darkroom for safe handling. A darkroom is simply a small working area that shuts out room light and relies on a safelight, usually an amber or red bulb.You will need some print developer like Kodak Dektol and a hardening fixer like Kodak Fixer, plus three trays for processing. Running water is a convenience, if available. An enlarger or slide projector is the only major piece of equipment you may need (see below). Its function is to enlarge a small black-and-white negative into a large positive image. The price of new enlargers, available at larger photo stores or our website, ranges from $150 upward. Used enlargers can be bought on e-Bay or from ads in photo magazines. If you don’t have an enlarger, a satisfactory substitute is a slide projector.
