I helped the owner get a large print job out and if I remember correctly, it was VC paper. Perhaps Varigam. But the darkroom had been in use for years and I was basically helping out a friend. The safelight doors were open and I did not notice any fogging however I personally did not run a test. I had no reason to. The darkroom was about 15' x 20', resin plywood sink as an island in the middle, enlarger benches on three sides, D2's for B&W, Durst L1000 with a Pavelle color head for color, and an 8x10 Elwood for big stuff and making 16x20 "contact" sheets from 35mm and 6x6. The Thompson hung from the ceiling, in the middle of the room, directly over the sink. 10 to 12 foot ceiling. Long time ago... Jim
