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
Just let me know if you have any questions about your Technika 70.

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 :-)
Lucky You :P
I'm still working on my LF enlarger with LED head.
So much to do,so little time...
