You can make this as simple or as involved as you like, and as expensive
or as cheap as you like also. It all depends on what you really want to
do, and what inconveniences you'll put up with. I have a B&W darkroom
with no running water in it (but I have it right outside of it). With
that simple set up, I printed and processed some very nice Ilfochromes
for a couple years (at room temperature), and had no problem with color
shifts or anything else. There are ambient temperature chemicals for
color, as well as the traditional ones, which require higher, more
stable temps. If anything, I actually found the Ilfochrome to be easier
than B&W. You can do it with the lights on (once the exposure is made);
The drum agitation is a lot easier than fiddling with trays; and it's
only RC paper, so you can dry it with a hair dryer and get right to
analyzing it.
Thanks,
Ed
