Hi, I'm looking for essentials to start contact printing at home. I'm based in SF Bay Area.

1) 8x10 contact printing frame
2) Paper safe
3) Ilford Multi-Grade filter set
4) Development trays, tongs, and squeegees
5) Print washer
6) Print dryer

When I first started developing I used whatever I had and it worked. A vegetable bin for developer tray, an old pane of glass for contact prints, rinse in the sink. I cut a red lens from a car taillight to fit an old military flashlight. Contact printing is about as low tech as photographic darkroom work gets.
Enjoy!
