Hey, gang! Gots another darkroom question. While my own darkroom is in the works (and progressing most slowly) I've decided to start using a public darkroom about 20 miles from home. Current plans are to continue developing negatives at home, and only bring what I intend to print to the darkroom facility. The problem is that their hours are limited, and my schedule will only fit within about 5 hours per week over two days. So I have to work efficiently. What I'd like to do is place my prints in a storage tank full of water, after they're rinsed, and transport them home for drying. As best as I can figure, the prints will be in the tank at least 30 minutes, and for no more than 2 hours, before being hung. Anyone see a problem with this? FWIW, I currently have about 100 sheets of fiber-based paper to go through. Once this is gone I'll replace it with resin coated paper to cut down on my wash time (and darkroom fees).
I'll probably use a commercially available processing or washing tank with dividers to keep the prints separated.
