Are you serious? Darkroom technology is expensive, time consuming,
uses up a lot of resources, requires a darkroom, special lighting and
equipment and is dying out fast.
Almost any flatbed scanner that also provides software that enables
reversing the image would work. It would produce dry, finished images
in minutes without a darkroom or the use of water.
