Yes, the duraflex trays are nice. I watch for them on ebay etc and some stinker is trying to get $25 for 1 9x11 tray For me it got to the point that the stain transfered to the borders of prints even after using tray cleaner so I've abandoned that one. I work too hard already on prints to have to worry about smudges on the borders too. Hopefully yours won't do that. ________________________________ From: William Harting <wm.harting@xxxxxxxxx> To: pure-silver@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Wed, January 20, 2010 5:33:54 PM Subject: [pure-silver] Re: New trays I don't like it that my developer tray (Dektol) is stained, but I've abandoned cleaning it.... is this a bad thing? I do wash my trays carefully after each session with cool water and paper towels, but that developer tray (a Kodak-yellow product from long ago when they made beautiful things) is stained, and I say let it be stained... -bill h On Wed, Jan 20, 2010 at 4:54 PM, Eric Nelson <emanmb@xxxxxxxxx> wrote: > That's what I use as well but I have to do it after every session.
