Review Summary

Rated 5 out of 5

Sturdy, even when full of chemicals.

16"x 20" Paterson photographic processing trays are very sturdy and well made. Even with a considerable amount of liquid in them, they can be lifted without worry of buckling.

Perfect for 8x10 Printing and small darkrooms

Purchased 3 trays to set up my very first darkroom, working with extremely limited space constraints. Can't fault these for construction or in use, and the size is perfect (also, they stack really well so take up minimal space when not in use).

Excellent Trays

Excellent trays for 8x10. Ribbed bottoms and corner pour spouts. Thick material. Not cheap feeling at all.

Good, but dirty

Developing trays arrived dirty, with some sort of sticky black goo and scuff marks around the edges and the pour spout. It looked like they spent some time rattling around in the back of a truck. Once cleaned up, however, the trays themselves are nice. The ribs on the bottom make transferring prints between trays easy and quick. The pour spouts work well and do not drip the way other spouts sometimes do.

These are the second batch of these trays I have bought from Adorama

These are the second batch of these trays I have bought from Adorama.recently. I had used identical trays years ago for film photo print. They were great then and continue to be for our new uses in many artistic media that need the quality that is provided.

Not Just For Photos

Use is for soaking old drawings and prints to remove water or acid stains,etc. It's clean, deep enough and has a good pour corner that facilitates water changes.

Fine sturdy trays

I'm using these to develop 4x5 sheet film and they are working as expected. I'm using 30oz of chemical but could probably use significantly less if I was more proficient at agitating (via shuffling) sheet film.

Nice trays, bad sticker placement

Trays are nice, the only bad thing is that they had stickers glued to the inside and it took a bit of work to remove them. It would be more logical to place the stickers on the bottom of the trays instead of inside, you know, the place where you place your chemical solutions and photos?!

Fine sturdy trays

Sturdy, even when full of chemicals.

By Henry J.

16"x 20" Paterson photographic processing trays are very sturdy and well made. Even with a considerable amount of liquid in them, they can be lifted without worry of buckling.

While meticulously crafted from robust polypropylene, these 12x16" Print Developing Trays, 3" Deep in Grey, are not only perfect for educational and industrial applications but also for professional photographers and photography enthusiasts. Their chemical-resistant nature ensures longevity, even in the face of frequent exposure to photographic chemicals, reinforcing their reputation as a durable and reliable choice.

The base of these trays features a unique ribbed design, enhancing rigidity and preventing photographic prints from adhering to the tray's surface. This thoughtful design element allows for effortless print removal, making your developing process smoother and more efficient.

One of the standout features of these high-quality print developing trays is the patented design that prevents your thermometer from slipping into the solution. This innovative feature ensures accurate temperature readings, contributing to the precision of your photographic development process.

Moreover, each tray is equipped with an extra-large pouring lip, designed to minimize chemical splash and promote safe, drip-free emptying. This feature, coupled with the tray's base design, ensures maximum economy of solution, making these trays not only a professional choice but also a cost-effective one for your photographic needs.

In summary, these 12x16" Print Developing Trays, 3" Deep in Grey, offer a blend of durability, versatility, and thoughtful design, making them an indispensable tool in any photography setting.
