Darkroom Print Handling

The Adorama Bamboo Print Processing Tongs come as a three-pack designed for traditional darkroom workflows. Each pair is crafted from bamboo and features color-coded rubberized silicon tips. The set covers the three main chemical stages: developer, stop bath and fixer. They provide the right amount of give to hold wet prints securely without marring the sensitive emulsion surface.

Chemical Compatibility Check

Before ordering, confirm that your darkroom uses standard base developer, acetic stop bath and hypo fixer solutions. The bamboo construction and silicon tips are specified as resistant to the corrosive qualities of these three fluids. If your process relies on alternative or highly concentrated chemistries not listed, verify material compatibility separately to avoid premature degradation.

Sustained Session Durability

Under continuous darkroom use the bamboo resists warping and the rubberized tips maintain their stain-free purity across repeated immersions. The ergonomic give remains consistent during long printing sessions, allowing secure grip on wet fibre-based or RC papers without surface damage. The color coding prevents cross-contamination between baths throughout the entire processing sequence.

Questions about this item

What items come in the box and do I need to buy any chemicals separately?

The box contains three bamboo tongs with colour-coded rubberised silicone tips. Developing agent, acetic stop bath and hypo fixer are not included and must be purchased separately.

How do I choose between the three tongs in the pack?

Each tong has a different colour tip that matches one darkroom chemical — developer, stop bath or fixer — so you use the corresponding tong for each processing step.

Will the bamboo and rubber tips hold up to repeated immersion in developer, stop bath and fixer?

Yes, the bamboo resists the corrosive qualities of all three chemicals and the rubberised silicone tips provide enough give to grip wet prints without marring the emulsion.
