Ok..... You started darkroom printing because you watched a few SFLaB vids!!! I'd just like to say...... You've blown me away by delving straight into colour printing!! I've had a darkroom for a good number of years now..... But I have always held back on colour printing because of how afraid I was from this unknown!! I am SO SO happy discovering your Chanel!! Thank you :-)

Around 8 or 9 years ago I bout an old enlarger with assorted bits and pieces on a whim for €100, but it was a monster of a thing and I ended up just leaving it all in the shed. Recently I've moved back to shooting film and was thinking about setting up a darkroom, so I decided to drag it all out and see if anything was working. Everything's a bit stiff and needs a little TLC but it's all working. It's an Omega with film holders from 35mm right up to 4x5", 3 enlarger lenses, timer, clock, developing tank, film clips, trays....everything! So now I'm in the process of turning the spare room into a darkroom, have developed some negs and hope to begin printing in a week or so. I have to say I admire your dedication. I wouldn't be able to set everything up then take it all down again each time like you do. You put most of us to shame with your enthusiasm.

Thanks for showing how the Jobo tank works without the expensive machine. Couldn’t find anything on Google- thanks again

This is Meopta Axomat enlarger, color 3 is the colour head. This head can be used with different Meopta enlargers like for example Opemus which accepts 6x6 negs.

Yes man. You’ve completed the film game! Haha jealous. The intrepid enlarger kit is on my wish list. Looking forward to seeing more prints from ya, man.

Awsesome stuff man! Glad to see more people printing color! I just started myself in my parents garage using open trays.

😉👍 thats a lot of fun to play arround with, i tryed it but it was only black/white but you learn a lot...

Definitely interested in seeing more of the prints man!

Hey Ribs, greetings from Russia! Appreciate your videos, thank you for positive vibration with film photo!

Damn dude, these vids on this kit are awesome. I’ve had my eye on some enlargers for a bit now and can’t wait to pick this thing up! Great atuff

Hey man, nice darkroom setup! I just finished my first B&W print also in a bathroom :) About that timer... In Russia we have old USSR-made timer relays, which cost like $10-15 used and do pretty much the same as these fancy ones. When I saw prices of Paterson and Kaiser timers... man, that's a half of an enlarger price!

I always assumed you needed a huge machine to make color prints. This is so cool.

I think I have the same enlarger: Meopta Axomat 5. The thing is that it does can print medium format, you just need a different film holder, which also has newton glas with it.

This video is so incredibly helpful, thanks!

Hi Ribsy, thanks for your videos ! Have you ever tried to use drums to print B&W ?

Dope

Wicked vids

I wonder if an aquarium heater could replace a sous vide. Or, a picnic cooler to maintain the temperature. I use a picnic cooler to do steaks sous vide. Cheap, easy, and effective. Just get the water to temp, put it in the cooler, contents in, shut the lid. this maintains the heat well for about an hour. Could the jobo tank be used with a rock tumbler to rotate the drum? Please share how you use the jobo tank to develop paper

Can't find that Jobo drum anywhere in the US even on EBay. Bummer.

What is the meaning of color enlarger is this for colored picture printing and can you print black and white also or colored print only? I appreciate your reply for me couz i wanted to learn a lot in photography.thankyouuu

Hi Friend. I have the same enlarger. But i have a question . You connect the enlarger directly to the house socket ? Or do you need an adapter? Saludos desde México.

Thanks so much for this. A question about your print drying. What did you have to change in your printing to get the images not coming out slanted on the paper? Thanks!

Need of color film developing?

Whats the D for on your enlarger settings?
