One suggestion to speed up darkroom setup/takedown time:
Never use more than two trays --- one for the chemicals, and the
second as a water bath.
The chemicals themselves can conveniently be stored (and even mixed)
in one litre or one quart food contains like yogurt or cottage cheese
contains. You can pour the developer / stop / fixer-1 /fixer-2 /
hypoclear / toner /whatever into the processing tray in a matter of
seconds, process and then pour it back into the container in a few
seconds, rinse the tray + print if you want to or just dump in the
next chemical. The second tray is used to store and rinse prints
prior to putting them in the washer.
I get one-quart containers at the Dollar Store.
You could also use a drum for processing, but if you like trays, try
working with only two.

Hi,
For those of you who do not have dedicated darkrooms, how long
does it take you to covert your room into a darkroom ?
It seems to take me more then an hour to go from room to darkroom
that is ready to print.. Which is to say, light tight, chemicals
mixed. Etc
Take down takes almost the same when I factor in the time it
takes to empty the print washer..
Just seems really long.
