Making a Black and white print

equipment.: processing trays, an enlarger a repeatable enlarger timer, a paper cutter, a paper safe, enlarging lenses, a safe light and a way to hang up the prints to dry.

 Chemicals needed: there are four main chemicals needed stop bath fixer developer,  you must use these chemicals to eventually develop a contact sheet, you would get these chemicals from your local photography store :) or from you schools darkroom :) hahahhahahah




The process:  The negatives need to be laid out on photo paper and exposed to light, once this is developed you will have your contact sheet the exposed paper should then be placed in developer and left for one minute the you stop it with a stop bath doing this for thirty seconds. then put in fixer for two min. after you must wash print in water for five to ten minutes then you hang the contact sheet to dry the yo make the print pick which one you want to enlarge and put it in the negative carrier
insert into the slot below the light source determine the size and exposure time, the insert photo paper into an easel turn on light and timer and theirs your print
