It’s important that the FB paper is completely washed of chemicals.

I use a drying press with temp control but find unless all chemicals are removed during washing, paper will stick to the cloth.

Would suggest you put the print under running water until fully soaked,this should remove the paper from the glass without any damage.

Best of luck with it,

Noel

Hi Noel,

What do you do for print washing, by the way ?

Damien

Hi Damien,
Print washing is also carried out in the Jobo drum,with several changes of water depending on RC or fibre paper,discarded water can be drained into a container if you don;t have a plumbed outlet to a drain.
For large prints drum takes about 300ml for each change.

Look forward to your visit when you get the time.

Hi Damien,

Wish you well with your new venture.

Have almost the same size room and layout as per your sketch in my own darkroom,
so if its of any help you’r more then welcome to visit me anytime and have a look.(i’m in South Dublin).

Would also highly recommend the use of a drum processor in your setup.

I process paper and film using a Jobo CPP2 with lift,which eliminates any need for a sink and running water,also reduces chemical odours to an absolute minimum.

Whichever way you go about it i wish you the best of luck with it,

Noel

I found this a very useful tutorial for B&W scans.
