Digital BW, The Print

I am saddened that so many of you suffered in smelly darkrooms. Good
ventilation is the difference between enjoyable darkroom time and 

a dark dangerous place. But you missed the point, the previous post was more
about word creation and I was associating the smell with the words origin.
People could walk into my studio darkroom and smell but a hint of anything
chemical and many wondered if I really did make all those prints there.   

 

How many different boxes of digital paper do you have and the associated
sample packs which for the most part are not individually labeled so after a
few years goes by you have more scrapes of paper that you don't know than
do? At least with a paper safe they were out of sight out of mind ; )

It was always a staple in my darkroom, as were blue and (to a lesser 
extent) red toners-- and I wholeheartedly agree with you that they stank 
to high heaven, but they weren't alone in this. Aromatic unpleasantness 
was pretty much part and parcel of many of the other chemicals with 
which we regularly worked.
