Welcome, Sayvor! I myself have a Graflex Super Graphic. Check out the home page, as there are lots of good articles. We have answers for all kinds of questions, but finding a match between question and answer might be a challenge. ;)

Do you have an enlarger? Or are you going to be scanning and doing inkjet printing?

Welcome to the forum! Buy some 4x5 film holders and some film, and a lens if you don't have one. Buy a changing bag or find a dark closet to change and develop film in. Buy a bottle of Rodinal (you can use that to develop both negatives and prints) and some fixer, and three trays or a daylight tank, and some paper, and you are ready to go. With that you can make contact prints, and from there you can expand infinitely...

Cheers, Tim

I actually found an enlarger. I just moved into a new house and a new neighbor who is moving away from the street was throwing one away. He said it was his girlfriends and they do not need it any longer.. In addition is.a a lot of darkroom and developing chemicals and trays... a timer and lights.. black and red... looking forward to learning how to set it up and use it. I put it in my garage as we were just leaving for a vacation. I will see what kind it is and share the info asap. Luckily I have space for a dark room in my studio.
cheers happy 4th :-)
