BANME.sh posted:Do you use fixed contrast paper or variable contrast? I have a bunch of Ilford contrast filters and I am wondering if I need to use them or not. Can you get fixed contrast paper any more? My local store only carries VC, although the printing section is pretty small. Get some VC paper and play around with the filters, start doing stuff like split filtration, burning and dodging with different filters, etc. I miss the darkroom at my school, need to set one up at home in the basement. Any tips on where to get a good deal on an enlarger? (I'm guessing Craigslist) Do any dorkroomers do c-prints? I think that it doesn't take long enough to get happy with a B&W print and want to waste time with three different light colors in complete darkness without a safelight.

For a start I'm just going to use it for developing so I can do away with my sweaty sack of darkness and have a nicer work area than the kitchen sink, but I'm keeping my eyes open on Gumtree for an enlarger too. I like to No clue how average I am, I know a lot of people use much smaller strips for tests, but it helps me to see the whole image gradiated.
