I would be interested in an exchange using ink jet printing if it
comes to pass.
My darkroom is long gone, however today, 6 months after moving, I
have my inkjet filled with new ink and all the nozzles are
working. Of course for B&W you only need one set working.
My darkroom is about five years away from being resurrected. But
Elias has made it certain that Slobodan objects to the inclusion of
digital prints, so I suspect that you and I are going to have to sit
this one out. I have dropped out of the Leica Users' Group Print
Exchange for related reasons. It would be nice to win the lottery
so that I had the money to recreate my darkroom but at my time in
life, this is just an impossibility. Enjoy your darkrooms, you rich
or lucky or rich and lucky guys! Sloboan, I plan on resurrecting my
darkroom in around five years.

It's all relative. My first darkroom cost 89 cents plus one Kodak
Tri-Chem-Pac. The 89 cents was for a red light bulb that turned out
to not be a safe light, but I eventually got a real safe light, some
trays, and my dad had an old contact printer that replaced the sheet
of glass I was using at the start.
Then again, when I finally started working for a living I actually
built a darkroom with all the fixings, including filtered air,
etc. No magic revolving light-door, just one that I closed that was
light tight. I gave away or tossed out just about everything when I
moved and don't feel any great loss for the old familiar smells.
I guess that makes me simply pragmatic, no longer an artisan.
