    Not since 1988 (no suitable room in house). I still have my one perfect 8x10 Cibachrome colour print (youger readers can look it up on Wikipedia) printed from a Kodachrome slide (same comment)... the cost and failure rate were both very high. It made monochrome almost look easy.

    Just started printing in my own darkroom and I love it. Inkjet can't touch it for creative satisfaction .

    Oh the joys of setting up the temporary darkroom in my bedroom all those years ago, I always enjoyed the 'magic' of a print appearing in the tray, Not overly sorry to have moved on to digital though, and Photoshop is a far simple, cleaner and easier process

    Almost the same as the first commenter. It really did teach you about all the aspects of photography not just the taking but what you could post capture. I too am 100% digital now, but those darkroom days and some of their ways still influence what I do on a computer today.

    I made my first darkroom print over 45 years ago and thousands more since. Nowadays I shoot 90% digital but I reckon that there is no better way to learn how photography works that to shoot film and print your own and that doesn't even touch on the magic and the creative pleasure.
