Colour darkroom printing is the earliest technique for creating colour photographs on paper. In Fitzroy
Darkroom, we use the RA-4 process of colour printing, a traditional method brought to market in the
mid-1940's and still popular today. Unlike modern printing processes, RA-4 printing is achieved with
no digital input, and is completed with light, lenses and chemistry alone. The result of this marriage
of physiochemical inputs is an ethereal quality on each and every print that needs to be seen to be
believed. The fact that Fuji, Kodak, Adox, and more, still manufacture and compete for a share of the
RA-4 market is a testament to the fact that good things take time - nothing beats the diffuse light of
an enlarger shone through a well composed negative onto the emulsion of a silver-halide coated paper.
