The chemicals were mixed correctly, the room vented. So it leaves me with a question? Have any others experienced anything like this since spending more time in the "light-room with computer and printer" compared to "dark-room and chemicals?" >ted Ted - One of the reasons I switched to digital was headaches in the darkroom! After many years of working in the darkroom - always well-ventilated with a powerful fan - , I began to get headaches after about half an hour. The time until the headaches started kept getting shorter and shorter until I could only spend about 10 minutes in there before I would get splitting headaches and have to stop. I think it must be a cumulative thing and I hate to think what it has done to my liver over the years - worse than the Lagavulin, I'm sure!!
