I don't use trays, but rather have a Jobo auto-processor. This is under an extraction system, and therefore my hands really only ever face water. There is something exciting about the red light and the "pop" of a photographic print which makes a whining ink jet seem a distant second: having said that, I suspect I would have more prints and often better ones if I had continued with the digital darkroom, but then I'd run out of wall space far too quickly, and Helen cannot keep up with the framing anyway ;-) Cheers On Wednesday, Jul 2, 2003, at 00:53 Australia/Melbourne, Aaron Sandler wrote: > >> Most people who work all day at a computer, don't want to do that for >> their hobby, too. >> >> Tina > > Yes, exactly! > > I'm getting ready to either: 1) unpack my old wet darkroom and set it > up for the first time in over 10 years (!) or 2) move into a true > digital darkroom with a negative scanner.
