Private Darkroom

Private Darkroom is set up for Black and White tray and Colour Machine printing, you will have access to both processes.

Within the private darkroom you will be able to produce colour prints by machine and B&W 'wet' prints using trays. You will have access to B&W diffuser and condenser enlargers, as well as 2 colour enlargers, able to print from 35mm up to 10x8 negative. The maximum print size for colour resin, B&W resin and B&W fibre print is 20x24. 

You will need to have completed a Black and White Project Room Class with Tray paper processing before you will be able to hire. Please do not book a darkroom without having done a class as refunds will not be given. 

For Colour printing please ensure you have completed a colour printing workshop at Rapid Eye Darkrooms and are fully competent as there is not readily available support on hand here, as there is in the rental darkrooms.  Users must be self sufficient.

The space is available to use alone, or in collaboration with other specialist printers.  A maximum of 2 people at one time can use the space. For collaborations you can work with your own printer, (so long as they have done the appropriate workshop), a Rapid Eye in-house printer, or an accredited printer Rapid Eye will recommend, depending and suited to your project.

House chemistry is included within the price although if you need a different type of chemical please specify and we will source or you can supply yourself.
