My prints seem "dull"

Perhaps your lighting is too safe. Mine is. Easy as it
is to work and see about in my darkroom I've found
that I could up the light level more yet.

I suppose the way I handle the paper has something
to do with it. Save for positioning, exposure, and some
evaluation as it comes up in the developer, the paper
does not see any safelight. Dan

Just an update.

I performed the Kodak safelight test, and it appears to be no problems at all in this department.

So now I have addressed all these potential hazards (listed in my previous threads) I am in a position to start really precticing my printing skills.

Thanks for the help,

Matt
