We are currently putting the finishing touches on our PanProcess Darkroom and expect it to be available soon. This darkroom is for all processes, and should be reserved for print toning, alternative processes, and sheet film developing. We are considering making this room available for color printing as well.  This darkroom will be available to members for $10 per session and to non-members for $14 per hour. Click here for other member options. 

There are two enlarging stations available, one of which is capable of printing 8x10 B&W negatives. Prints up to 20x24 are possible. Available negative carriers include 35mm, 645, 6x6, 6x7, 6x9, mounted slide, 4x5, and 8x10. Appropriate lenses are provided for the format in which you're working - 50mm, 75 or 80mm, 105mm, 135mm, and 240mm. All lenses are of Nikon quality or better. Each enlarging station also includes a four-bladed easel, 4-in-1 easel, contact proofer, digital timer, focusing sight, and contrast filters. 

Chemistry is not included in the rental fee for the PanProcess Darkroom. You may provide your own chemistry, or we can sell you just the volume you need for your session. Otherwise, you need bring only your negatives and a means to clean them. You may bring your own paper or purchase it here. Sometimes you need only a few sheets to finish a project. We will sell individual sheets of select papers. Just ask what we have available.
Rental Rates of the PanProcess Darkroom:
 Hourly: $14 non-member per station
Member Session Fee: $10 per station (a session is your time here on any one day, no matter what the duration)
