I agree with Doug.  The only time I use my darkroom now is develop film and 
to print archival black and whites on fiber paper.  With the new Epsons and 
some of the new inks and papers, the black and whites are even possible 
digitally and will soon be as archival as darkroom prints.  The results are 
phenominal with no messy, dangerous chemicals and much more precise 
dodging, burning and color control.
