The Ilford Pop Up Darkroom is the perfect solution for film photographers who want to print their negatives and otherwise may struggle to convert existing spaces into suitable working darkrooms.

The external metal frame is approximately 2.2m tall when assembled and should fit in most standard ceiling height rooms in European, American and Asian homes while still creating a workable 1.3 x 1.3m space to print while standing or seated.

A built-in air vent towards the base of the darkroom allows for an optional fan / air blower to be used and once sealed the incoming air will also expand the inner dimensions. A smaller vent is also included closer to the top of the darkroom to attach air extraction tubes (not included).

• Dimensions when assembled(approx.): Floor footprint 1.3m x 1.3m. Height 2.2m
• Bag dimensions: 68 x 25 x 25cm

Included: Darkroom, poles, ground sheet and storage bag

This simple guide will show you how easy it is to assemble your Ilford Pop Up Darkroom.

Before assembling ensure that you have sufficient floor space and height:- The external metal frame is approximately 2.2m tall and the internal space is 1.3 x 1.3m. If you are choosing to attach a fan / air blower to the lower vent on your pop up darkroom then this will cause it to expand slightly.

• Open the storage case and remove the poles, groundsheet and pop up darkroom.
• Move the groundsheet out of the way for now and unfold the pop up darkroom so that the black plastic cross is roughly in the centre
• Unfold the poles and clip the 1st three sections on each together
• Push the top of each pole into one of sections on the plastic cross – Repeat for all 4 poles.
• Attach the 1st two clips onto each pole
• Assemble each pole fully and attach remaining clips.
• Fold out the skirts so they lie flat to the floor.
• Insert the pegs into the bottom of each pole.
• Roll up the front of the pop up darkroom and use toggles to hold it in place.
• Attach the groundsheet inside the pop up darkroom using the velcro.

A durable light tight black material clips to the frame while an accompanying ground mat offers protection for your flooring. This and can be fastened to the interior skirt of the darkroom.

A built-in air vent towards the base allows for an optional fan / air blower to be used. Once sealed, the incoming air will expand the inner dimensions. A smaller vent is also included closer to the top of the darkroom to attach air extraction tubes (not included).
