I'd like to see a fuller description. It I'd like to see a more complete description. It looks like water enters at all levels & may be siphoned off the bottom which would make it reasonably effective. Let's not write it off entirely. -----Original Message----- From: pure-silver-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:pure-silver-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of BOB KISS Sent: Wednesday, August 08, 2007 4:18 PM To: pure-silver@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [pure-silver] Re: Mystery Print Washer DEAR ADRIENNE, I am guessing that it is a "holding bath" where you will group together prints that you have produced over a period of time. This allows you to perform the rest of your process (2nd fix, toner and/or final wash) on a larger batch of prints rather than one at a time. It is claimed that you should not just accumulate a large batch of prints sitting in fix laden water which, it has been claimed, will adversely affect effective washing and permanence. You might achieve the same effect by changing the water in the holding bath every few prints so that there is effectively fresh water every 10 or 15 minutes which is, I bet, what that nice expensive ZONE VI washer does. I get the impression that the $250 price tag is evidence supporting the old adage that "a fool and their money are easily parted".
