In the darkroom, when it comes to processing film or photographic paper temperature and timing are critical. While processing the film or photographic paper dust and fingerprints can completely ruin the picture so you must handle with care. Do not handle paper with wet hands. If you have the fix chemical on your fingers it would result in white fingerprints if you touch the print. You must fix the prints for the required time to avoid any purple staining. Also make sure that you wash the prints thoroughly before drying to avoid a yellow tint. We went into the darkroom and experimented with positive and negatives using the enlarger to expose the photographic paper with the object placed on top of it.
Materials
Photographic Paper
Enlarger Machine
Developer Chemical
Stopper Chemical
Fixer Chemical
Personal objects
Processes
Place the exposed photographic paper in the developer and leave for 2 minutes. Then remove the paper from the developer and place in the stopper chemical for 10 seconds. After that, place in the fixer chemical for 1 minute. Lastly, remove from the chemical and leave to wash in clean water for 5 minutes. Once it has been washed clean from any chemicals place in a dryer until it is dry.
