Well, not much to add to the question in the subject.
If I buy a colour enlarger, will it make B&W prints?
Or do I need a B&W enlarger for that?

thanks!

Sure, no problem. All the colour enlarger does is put filters in the light path. For B&W they are not there, or are clear.

Orio - can you buy enlargers and assorted darkroom stuff in Italy as cheaply as you can here?
If not I might be able to help by 'forwarding' some stuff for you. Or maybe other members could - depends where the gear is. I've bought and sold a whole heap of enlargers in the process of putting together just the right kit for my own darkroom. And I've sent enlargers all over the world.
Bear in mind that shipping an enlarger isn't cheap - £50-60 which is why people are put off. But this may still be a lot cheaper than buyting locally?It also needs careful packing.
