Response to Bad Black & White Processing

Too bad in this age of technology people forget how it used too be done. The old timers did not have fancy gear and some of the stuff they got still stands today.. No reason everything you need done at this point cannot be done in a kitchen or bathroom. A chunk of plywood over the bathtub and voila a workspace with running water and small enough too make light tight. I had a buddy once that used too just get the negs laid out over the paper, covered with a sheet of glass you can pick up cheap. Sometimes glass places have bits of plate glass lying around. An 11x14 peice will do nice and they willl even sand down the edges for you. Cheap. Anyway back too the buddy. Once the stuff was laid out he would fast flick the room light and process. He got pretty good at guessing the flick rate. Hey they are contact sheets. Anyway worked good and cost almost nothing. good luck and stay away from one hours if you can. Question???Why the hell are they all soooooo bad?? Is it a prerequisite that all of the printers in 1 hours be color blind...?
