Manage Your Hazardous Chemicals

Darkroom chemistry is rapidly giving way to computer-generated graphics and negatives, opening a way to remove such chemistry from the scene. Plate processing chemistry may also have a limited future as a result of direct-to-plate technology.

Where darkrooms continue to function, silver recovery canisters should be a fixture between the processors and the sewer pipeline. Removing the silver halide helps to purify the water to acceptable levels. It also rewards the user by capturing the silver for reuse, with compensation to the printer.
