B&W Darkroom Policies & Procedures
Darkroom Reservations
Be courteous to other members. Remember that the darkroom is available on a reservation basis. There is no charge, but we suggest you use the Reservation System to insure one of the four spots available. Your Photo Center member benefits allow four visits per month to the darkrooms. There is a login and log-out sheet to the left of print darkroom door. Record your time in and out. Additional visits are $10/per visit and will require payment at the end of your stay.
Chemicals
You are responsible for your own darkroom chemistry. You can bring your own or, we offer film and print developer as well as stop, fix and fix remover for $2.75 per 20 oz solution. The chemicals are located in a locker so one of our techs will help you. Payment is due at the time of chemicals being dispensed.
Papers
The Center does not have photographic paper so you will need to bring your own. Keep in mind that the film changing room is available for loading film . Consider other members when you are sharing the darkroom. Coordinate the darkroom lighting and be aware of your position in a darkened room.
Entering Darkrooms
Enter the print darkroom through the light-safe revolving doors. If the lights are out loudly announce your presence and do not turn on the lights until you are sure there are no members working in light-safe conditions. Please utilize the occupancy sign for the film changing room, and knock if the door is closed.
