When I lived in SF, I used the Darkroom at the Harvey
Milk center near Duboce park. Its a great facility
for printing if you don't mind working with a bunch of
other people. They have mostly 35mm enlargers but
also a couple of Omega D2's that will get the job
done. I now live in Burlingame and when I need to
print, I go over the bridge to Faultline Photographic,
a small darkroom that you can use on an hourly basis.
