Darkroom temperature for printing

Orio · Expire: 2012-12-04

At current, my darkroom temperature is 25,4°C and there is not much hope that it goes down since there was 33°C outside until one hour ago.

Is it critical for developing prints that the chemicals temperature stays at 20°?

Because it would be a trouble to cool them down. My darkroom is tiny and I can not fit an air conditioner there.

Also, while on my Ornano stop and fixer bottles I can read the bath times, there is no indication on the Ilford Multigrade developer. Anybody knows how long the developing time for a RC paper in it?

25.4C is ok, just develop a little shorter time.

Never really used multigrade but I should think 2 mins max. Is there any tech docs on their site these days?

I'd use the higher dilution or your dev times will be too short.
