Things to Remember While Developing Film and Prints

1. It is very important that you wash your prints for ten minutes before you place them in the dryer.

2. Please remove and throw away all tape that you used to label your developing cans. If you labeled your reel, please remove the tape when you are done.

3. When loading film onto your reel, you need to place two reels in your canister. Place the reel with the film on the bottom. Your film will not develop correctly if it is placed on top of the empty reel.

4. When you are the last one to use the dryer at the end of the period or day, please turn it off.

5. Make sure the light goes over the edge of your easel in the darkroom to maintain a consistent border.
