I have a 48 bit USB HP 4400c scanner and I am considering buying the film
adapter.
Does scanning and printing negs actually work? I have a canon s900 6 color
printer that prints digital camera pictures that look better than a

I plan to soften d-76 by shuffling print paper in it.
I'm not certain if I can do this using tongs. Can someone
suggest some form of protection for my hands
that would not adversely affect the developer

I am in the process of developing a large darkroom for workshops and
possibly rentals. I am in love with the process, and have begun to explore
other alternative processes, and would like to off a professional venue for
these types of workshops.

I have this timer + stabilizer for my D6 enlarger.
No power reaches the halogen lamp. The fan is running ok so 110 Volts is
comming through to the lamp house.
First I have some questions:

I've been looking for a used enlarger to purchase.  I don't know much about
them.
A local fellow is offering to sell me his Omega DII enlarger for $75.  It
has a condensor head, a Rodenstock 80mm f4, and a 2.25x2.25 (i think)

I just got back from vacation, and while visiting my parents my dad
handed
me several rolls of 120 film he'd shot sometime between 1960 and 1965
and

I came across a roll of Ansco All Weather Pan (620 Exp) in a camera
destined for a yard sale. From the owner's comments, I'd guess that this
roll of film  dates to the 1950s. I've searched DejaNews and saw that I
should use D-76 straight at 68 degrees F for 15 minutes. Does this ...

A newbie question:
I am putting together a darkroom and recently purchased a used Beseler 23CII
enlarger.  I only plan (for now) on B&W printing, but am not sure if there
is any special filtering that I need to do when printing to make sure I get

Does anyone make a coldlight, difussion enlarger that does 35 - 6x9 or even
4x5 negs? Black and white only. I'd need to locate the specs to be sure it
can fit in my darkroom.
Thanks.

A few days ago I asked help to develop tri-x 400 (old one) with ID-11 pushed
at 1000.
Mark A told me to search on digitaltruth but on the chart I found timing for
50-200-400-1600.

I've been developing bw film for about 2 months now as follows...

I just got a 2nd hand Super Chromega D type enlarger (don't know what
number).
I did not expect it came with any enlarger lenses but unfortunately it came
with lens called: Rodenstock Omegaron 105/4.5. Is it Rodenstock Rodagon made

For years I have mounted my photos for framing using drymounting only.
Since I began hand coloring some B&W images, I wanted a simple method that I
could do at home.  I have mounted a few 5x7's to mat board with the subject
3M Photo Adhesive and it seems to be okay.  Had anyone had ...

I took the advises from the more knowledgeable folks on this forum in
developing the next 2 rolls, an HP5+ @400 and a 400TX (new Tri-X)
@1600.  This time with night loading, no presoak, stop bath instead
of water stop, and 2 fixer baths.  The negatives look much better in
