Paterson Photographic High Speed Print Washer 1216
This darkroom accessory washes resin-coated and polyethylene prints up to 12 x 16 inches. A turbulent flow pattern scrubs both sides of each sheet so chemicals are removed in two to four minutes. It suits photographers who process RC or PE paper in batches.
Compatibility and connections
The unit includes inlet and outlet hoses plus a domestic tap adapter for a standard water supply. Separators are supplied to keep smaller prints apart during the wash cycle. Verify that your sink or tray can accommodate the washer footprint and that water pressure is sufficient for continuous flow.
Build integration
The washer frees the user from manual agitation and reduces overall wash time compared with tray methods. It requires a nearby cold-water tap and a drainage point for the outlet hose. No electrical connection is needed, so it fits into any darkroom layout that has plumbing access.
