[QUOTE="PoloMint, post: 380149, member: 175235"] Developing 'real' pictures from film isn't that expensive, you need a darkroom, but after that the paper and chemicals don't cost too much. I used to do it for black and white pictures (colour is really boring as you need to do it in complete darkness, rather than under a red light, and it is more fiddly). If you really wanted a darkroom, lots of people are selling them now (as digital is so much easier) so you could probably pick up all the equipment (enlarger, tanks, trays, etc) on eBay for under £100, then you just need a room at home that can be pitch dark, has electricity and plumbing. As for lasers - home ones aren't expensive, B+W ones cost £50+, colour £140+ B+W then costs about 2p per page for the toner (or less if you get a more expensive printer) or under that if you use non-brand name toner. Ones that print magazines, yea I bet they cost a fair bit... [/QUOTE]
