have you printed color before? it can be totally infuriating until you get into the groove, since you have to think backwards in regards to RGB and CMY colors. it's subtractive. also, no safelight at all (well i guess you can use an extremely dim green safelight but it always always fogs my paper so i just go with total darkness) and that can be a little frustrating too. but, i use a kreonite to process (to hell with processing my own color materials, it's a pain in the ass with requiring very specific temperatures and blah blah.. i'm lazy) the paper so it's totally dry and non-messy and that's a bonus.
that being said, i haven't printed color since the fall. actually, i haven't been in a darkroom at all since november, when i processed the b&w film i shot at the democratic party headquarters on election night. bad photographer, amanda! digital is NOT the complete answer but then here i am back at that lazy issue.
