Paterson 12x16" Major Auto Print Washer

Product Description

Designed to wash fibre-based papers that require longer washing time RC type papers, this major auto print washer will take up to twelve 12x16" (30x40cm) prints or 24 8x10" (20.3 x 25.4cm).

This unique agitation system gentle moves the print basket from side to side ensuring that the chemicals remaining in the paper base are fully removed. Each print is held seperately in the basket allowing water to wash both sides of the print.

Important note on this model washer – 12×16″ prints are a tight fit. And it may be necessary to trim them by a couple of mm or so. This is because it started out life as a 12×15″ washer, and Paterson adjusted the tooling to this more convenient size, but this was the maximum they could manage. However, saying this, the washer has been made the same for some 25 years. In our opinion, considering the competitive price of this washer, it is probably worth putting up with this aspect, particularly as it will not affect smaller prints.
