<p>A compact integrated system for photographic processing has processing trays (11, 12, 13), sink (10), water filter and faucet (16), chemical storage (26-28), and drying screens (29) in a single multi-purpose unit. The processing trays are vertically stacked and rolled in horizontal corrugations (18) traversing the length of the sink. A print under development is directly transferred vertically between chemical processing trays across a print sponge (160) with a print gripper (30). Each print is uniformly processed in a chemical processing tray by rolling the tray, ensuring uniform distribution of the processing chemical without manually agitating the print. The water rinse step of the print development process is accomplished in an oscillating wash bath (14) wherein the water is continuously circulated over and between the prints being rinsed. Each tray may be angled downward for emptying into a basin (15). The hinged cover (21, 22) provides a mounting for a water filter/faucet, a table/safe light, and a work surface when closed.</p> |
