I just spent all of last Sunday in my darkroom helping my daughter and her best friend print a couple dozen Cibachromes. It is sooooo easy. Last night I came home from work at 6pm, turned on my JOBO, helped my wife with some stuff, went in to my darkroom and printed four Ciba's, one of my sons came over for dinner at 7pm, ate dinner, talked for awhile, printed four more Ciba's, helped my wife and son do some work upstairs while the Ciba's were processing (we're remodeling the family room), went back to the darkroom, dried the prints, shut down everything, and it was watching TV and sorting through the eight prints, deciding which would look good as a 16x20 or 20x24, at 9pm. The process is 17 min dry to dry. Including paper, roughly $3.50 per 8x10, $7.00 per 11x14, etc... In terms of 8x10's you can process from 1 to 6 8x10's at a time. Or whatever size mix you want up to a single 20x24. Compared to printing B&W and color neg, printing transparencies is dirt simple! You have the transparency. You "know" what the print is supposed to look like. No guessing. Very straight forward. And fun. And you end up with a "real" print! ;-) Jim
