So, get the biggest sink you can afford and that will fit in your space. Although, you may have your space already set up. I got a really large print washer, too large for my space. If you are buying one, pick the best compromise between print size and washer footprint. As for plumbing, tygon tubing will be your friend especially with zip ties. Actually, check your plumbing every so often. Leaks do happen. Think about how you want your prints to dry. Window screens are a nice idea especially if you can lay them flat and stack them with an inch or so gap between. Also saves some space. I got a LPL/Saunders 4500 enlarger with color head. You can use the Tim Rudman printing book to dial in the CMY to correspond to the Ilford filter grades. Rudman's book is called the Master Printing Book or something similar and can be found on Amazon for relatively cheap. That is another nice reference and complement to A.Adams trilogy. Ctein had a book out called Post Exposure which is also informative. Have fun, JW
