Well, you could always mix a batch of fixer, pour some into a bowl and leave it out on your desk while you printed to your EPSON!!!! Could the warm fuzzies be far behind? Greg, I think you're FAR too short sighted on this wet darkroom vs. digital darkroom stuff.

When I was about 10 years old my brother went off to university and left me his darkroom to use for about a year until we moved. But when I recently began developing film the smell of fixer brought back warm, fuzzy feelings. Perhaps its the darkwomb that I missed and would miss the most were Satan to get his hooks into me and drag me screaming to the Epson store. > > Greg > > >
