REMARK

TRAY

Three trays are needed for each size. Some trays use outer measurement, which will confuse us during purchase. It is the inner measurement that must fit the size of paper. A wider tray will consum much more chemicals.

PRINT TONGS

A print tong is need for each tray. Normally, it should be three, that is why some package is in set of three. The best one is plastic with rubber tip. Wood or bamboo are not suggested because they will suck chemicals and not easy to clean. Steel is also not suitable for its reaction with some chemicals. Any tong without rubber tip may have scratches on paper.

PAPER PROCESSING TIMER

Specific design is good. But, any self-timer can do just fine. It would be good with sound to indicate the end of count. There are some electronic kitchen alarm clock with a few memory setting.

Best size is 120 model, which can process one roll of 120 or two rolls of 135. There are plastic and stainless steel. (Click to check more information)

Steel reel for steel tank is fixed format for 135 and 120. Plastic reel for plastic tank is adjustable for 135 and 120.
