Hello!
This will be a thread about the problems I am most likely to encounter in this new adventure in the dark.
I will be making prints for now, developing film later, but for now my questions will be about prints.
I bought a used enlarger, and it came with a lot of stuff, including some chemicals. I know I need at least developer, stop bath and fixer.
I have two bottles of fixer, "Tetenal Superfix", that seems to be suited both for film and paper. Then I have a developer: "Tetenal Ultrafin liquid". On the bottle it says it is for developing film, so this won't do for making prints, will it?
Then I have one bottle that says "Wetting Agent". It's made by Tetenal too. What does that do?
So now I need at least stop bath and probably developer. What should I get? Does it have to be Tetenal? Or can I buy Ilford or Kodak developer and stop bath and use it with the Tetenal fixer?
Thanks for now, I will be using this thread to ask lots of newbie questions from now on.
