Back in the 70/80/90s I had a colour darkroom but I found that it meant that I was spending a day or half a day locked away in the dark which was pretty antisocial. That said the Cibachrome prints I made then still look great. There was another Agfa paper that was similar to Cibachrome but used less toxic chemicals but I cant remember its product name. I will try to search for it.

The Agfa paper for making prints from slides was Agfachrome PE CU 310/312. More info here.... https://www.photomemorabilia.co.uk/Colour_Darkroom/Early_Agfa.html#anchorAgfaCUinDrums Agfachrome PE CU 310 and CU 312 Papers Agfa-Gevaert introduced Agfachrome paper in 1979 as a reversal colour printing paper for making colour prints directly from colour transparencies. The paper was similar in structure to the negative colour printing paper MCN Type 5 and the emulsions were coated onto a polyethylene coated paper base (PE). Two finishes were available, glossy 310 and smooth semi-matt 312. In the darkroom the paper had to be handled in total darkness. It was recommended that a first trial print was made without any correction filters in the enlarger filter draw, or the dials of the colour head set to zero, and a trial exposure made at a lens aperture of F8. Whatever the colour cast of the test print, the opposite colour filter to the cast was used to arrive at a correctly balanced print. A yellow cast was corrected by inserting magenta and cyan (blue) filters in the filter draw or by dialling up magenta and cyan filters in a colour head. The method of colour correction was exactly the opposite to printing a colour negative. In 1980, Agfachrome paper was obtainable in sizes from 5 x 7 inches to 20 x 24 inches in 10, 25 and 100 sheet packings. Pictures of the packaging are shown below.

Same here JK. My colour darkroom in Hong Kong could double as a sauna as it was so tiny (around 30 sq feet) but I had to keep the heater on when printing colour. In fact I brought this - and most of my darkroom equipment to the UK, but I'm not sure whether I'd like to use them again.   Click here to comment on this image.
