I solved the problem halfway by setting up a film developing area in the laundry using large cheap trays as work surfaces to catch spills, and a changing bag to load film onto the tank reels. I fond a rental lab in which to do printing. This was most economical, since the enlarger you use has a larger role in determining the quality of your prints.(posted 8355 days ago)It was also a wise choice since my developing activity has slowed down recently, and I don't feel as bad about it than if I had invested several hundred dollars in an enlarger.
The Kodak site will tell you all you need to kow, and your local library should have a few beginner books on the shelves.
