Wet silver color printing is slow, tedious, and requires trial and error to get the color balance right. I don't miss those days. Even if you want to cling to film for some reason, scanning the film then printing digitally is much easier, repeatable, and faster.

My process went something like this (it's been 20 years or so):

1. Turn off all the filters to get the most light coming thru the enlarger, open the lens all the way, and frame and focus the print on the target.

2. Raise the enlarger the calibrated amount you previously determined matches the height of the color analyzer pod.

3. Move the color analyzer pod target to where you know the color in the picture is gray, or if necessary swap to a different negative (without otherwise disturbing the enlarger) that contains a picture of a gray card under the same lighting conditions just for this purpose.

4. Look in your notes for the required color analyzer readings for what you want to do, and dial in the color filters on the enlarger to get them.

5. Put the enlarger back down to the original height, replace with intended negative if necessary, frame and focus again, then stop down the lens to the f-stop you intend to use. Turn off the enlarger.

6. In total darkness, grab a sheet of paper out of the box, place it in the enlarger target area by feel, trigger the timer to turn on the enlarger for a calibrated amount of time, usually 10-30 seconds.

7. In total darkness again, carefully grab the exposed print, handling it only by its edges or back, then insert it into the processing drum. Put lid on processing drum. Now you can turn on the lights.

8. Move drum over to wet processing area. It is good to keep the enlarger area and wet processing area separate. Place drum on auto-rotator agitator.

9. Get a decent amount of water at a few degrees above the desired temperature. This should be several times the volume of developer and the like. Add a teaspoon of baking soda to the water if you have acidic water. I found this necessary with my water. Pour water into drum, let it agitate for maybe 10 seconds, then pour it out.

   The purpose of this step is to pre-heat the drum and to wet the paper. Both make for more consistent and streak-free developing.

10. Measure out the right amount of developer from the bottle that has been sitting in the temperature-controlled water bath all this time. Pour it into the drum and start agitation quickly before anything gets much of a chance to cool down. Carefully time agitation according to the developer documentation.

11. Get weak acetic acid ready for the stop bath. When the developing time is over, pour out the developer and pour in the stop bath as quickly as possible. Agitate for a few seconds, then pour out the stop bath.

12. Pour in the fixer, timed agitation, pour out.

13. Ordinary water rinse step.

14. Open drum, remove print, realize it's a bit too magenta, so repeat back from step 1.

15. After doing the previous steps enough times, wonder if there isn't a better way.

16. Get a good negative scanner and digital color printer, and with great relief leave steps 1-15 to history, where they belong.
