I hate to say this, but you may have to ship your prints out of country to get them processed in a lab, or build your own. Just lay out a square of wooden studs in the right size and shape, line your box with black plastic from a 4x25 meter roll, lay your print down face up, and pour premixed developer over it. Use sponge floor mops over it to swish developer around. When finished drag your print to a same size water bath (no stop), then two fixers, a wash and a Permawash. I had to do that a long time ago, and my advice is to have at least four assistants, a hose for wash water and do everything other than developer outdoors (developer can be done in an Army tent with safelight illumination but not with a full moon). Either lay your big print face up on grass, or on a large piece of screening with a small fan blowing air over it to help the drying process. If you wish to preserve your hair and mind, use RC paper, not fiber. Skål! My camera was the inside of a Bedford van and a 1 cm pinhole. Exposure time was about 10 hours via a Packard shutter. Jan
