Response to Darkroom Questions

Question 1: I guess you mean making a B+W print of a color negative. Tonality is only correct when using photograpic paper designed for this type of print (panchromatic paper as Kodak Panalure). Contrast should be good, but it's an expensive paper. Normal printing papers as Ilfords MGIV Wartone demand a high contrast grade due to the orange contrast mask. Quesion 2: Non-red lights might always be a cause for fogging, so keep the illumination away from unexposed paper. Generally I don't think it might harm. Just use a good safe light.
