Print Developing Tray
The Paterson Photographic tray is a 16x20 inch, 3-inch deep vessel moulded from thick polypropylene for darkroom print processing. Its rigid construction suits educational and industrial environments where repeated chemical exposure is routine. The grey finish aids visual inspection of developer exhaustion. Photographers who need smaller formats or automated machine processing will not use this tray.
Base Ribbing Prevents Sticking
Moulded ribs on the tray base keep prints separated from the surface during agitation, reducing the risk of emulsion damage and uneven development. The same ribbing adds structural stiffness so the tray resists flexing when full of solution. Users who require a perfectly flat, unribbed bottom for contact printing or alternative processes cannot use this design.
Patented Thermometer Holder and Pour Lip
A built-in thermometer restraint stops the instrument from sliding into the chemistry, while an extra-large pouring lip directs spent solution cleanly back into storage bottles. The base geometry minimises the volume of liquid required to cover a print, lowering chemical consumption per session. Installations without bench space for a 16x20 inch footprint must choose a different size.

Questions about this item
What does the 16x20" size mean for my prints?
The tray holds prints up to 16 by 20 inches, giving full immersion for standard large-format sheets.
How does the 3" depth affect chemical volume?
A 3-inch depth lets you use a practical amount of solution while keeping prints fully submerged.
Will the 327 tray fit my existing darkroom bench?
The moulded polypropylene tray measures 16 by 20 inches externally, so check your bench space against those dimensions.
