Response to Questions about stocking a darkroom

you do not need a conventional print dryer if you bought rc-paper (resin coated); indeed, as a beginner, you should not use a conventional dryer for these papers as they get too hot for the plastic coating. just put the papers on an old newspaper to dry, squeeze off excess water with a sponge or a rubber blade - and additionally use a hair-dryer at the lowest setting for some seconds at a distance of 30 cm = 12 inches if you are in a hurry. time needed without hair dryer is less than half an hour. alternatively you can hang the pictures on a laundry line, but the clips may leave marks. good luck, lots of success
