Ah, I wondered about that. There is no chance of me getting a darkroom at this point. I don't have my own house. But having the (albeit chromogenic) prints now would be good. And then, at some stage, I would like a darkroom in my own house (along with white picket fence & rose garden). So I would like to be able to dig my negatives out and play with them at a later date. On a slightly different tangent. I have all these B&W negatives from school photography. There just wasn't enough hours in the school year to get them all printed. I went into a lab a few years back, and they said to print them from negatives, I would have to pay about NZ$1 per print just to get normal size prints. This seems quite a lot, and would end up costing more I think than D&P. So then I was wondering about scanning negatives into my computer. I have HP Scanjet 3300C. Any point in trying to use this, or will I just ruin my negs and my scanner? I don't think my scanner gets hot through normal use. Or would it maybe be better to get a copy centre to scan them onto CD for me? Is this likely to be cheaper than prints from negative? And is it safe for my negatives? Also, how good are prints made onto photo-quality paper using an inkjet printer and HP photo cartridges? I imagine not as good as ones you print yourself in the darkroom, but am I likely to be disappointed? I have not shelled out megabucks for the paper and cartridge yet. Thanks in advance, Jody. --- tom <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > It sounds to me as if she's saying she just wants to > play around with b+w > to see if she likes it.
