If your darkroom is in the basement it doesn't matter how dusty it is
because the naturally high humidity keeps the dust off your negs as you
print. You wont have a dust problem surprisingly. But you can't use a glass
carrier as you get Newton rings. Or Van Allen belts. Rainbow phenomenon
which comes out in your prints.
