bob_moulton Posted October 22, 2001 Share Posted October 22, 2001 Can someone suggest a brand of print washer suitable for use in a college darkroom? I am in the process of replacing two old, rather used Arkay washers. Maximum size prints 8x10. Larger prints are tray washed using siphon. About 75-90 students per semester. Thanks in advance.

sal_santamaura Posted October 23, 2001 Share Posted October 23, 2001 11x14 Summitek Cascade washer. It requires very low water flow and will permit students to add prints downstream without contaminating those already in the washer. I'm extremely pleased with mine; no connection with the company except as a customer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
david_rose3 Posted October 23, 2001 Share Posted October 23, 2001 Take a look at the EcoWash line from Oriental/Cachet. I have the 8-1/2" x 11" model and really like it. They are available from B&H for about $300. It is a very simple design that has a small footprint and is very efficient with wash water. It also allows the addition of downstream prints.

william_marderness1 Posted October 23, 2001 Share Posted October 23, 2001 I use the Jobo Nova 8x10 washer. It costs $100. I am happy with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul_owen Posted October 23, 2001 Share Posted October 23, 2001 Bob, Check out the Nova range of washers. I'm very pleased with the archival washer (16x20). Regards Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
