PROCESSING THE PRINT

Four trays are required.  Use print tongs.

Timings for the prints to be emerged in the chemicals are:

• Developer    ..................................................................................    1 minute
• Stop Bath  .....................................................................................   1 minute
• Fixer (the print is no longer light sensitive  .........................................   5 minutes
• Wash  .............................................................................................. 5 minutes

• Pour print developer into the first tray to a depth of about half an inch.
• The temperature of the solution should be 20 degrees centigrade.
• Put the Stop Bath in the next tray (water can be used as a substitute).
• Put the fixer in the third tray.
• Immerse the exposed paper in the developer - shiny-side up.
• Rock the tray back and forth to make sure that the paper is covered evenly.
• Time the development.
• The image should start to appear after around 20 seconds.
• When the print has received the correct amount of time and, using the tongs, lift it by a corner and allow the developer to drain from the aper for a few seconds.
• Put the print into the Stop Bath.
• Rock the dish for a few seconds and leave it in the Stop Bath for one minute.
• Life and drain, as before.
• Put the print into the fourth container, containing running water, for five minutes.
