The cross-jet archival
washer is the culmination of many years of experimenting, testing and
refining in my darkroom. the washers are personally hand crafted and
finished to the highest standards, using only the best grade clear cast acrylic.
The washers are compact in size and have a small footprint and are available
in 4 sizes: 11X14, 8X20, 16X20, 20x24 all in 6 and 12 slot capacities.
Custom sizes can also be supplied up to 30X40 8 slot capacity.
Separate high velocity
opposing twin cross-jets for each compartment ensures a continuous uniform
flow of water over both sides of the print. The 11X14-6 slot has 24
jets, the 12 slot has 48 jets, the 8X20 and 16X20-6 slot have 36 jets the 12
slots have 72 jets, the 20X24-6 slot has 48 jets, the 12 slot has 96 jets.
The compartment dividers
are textured on both sides to prevent prints from sticking; minimizing the
risk of damage to the print emulsion and making print retrieval easier. The
dividers are supported on 4 sides with spacer blocks in place; eliminating
the bowing and warping caused by water pressure that can cause uneven washing.
The dividers and bottom spacer assembly are removable for cleaning. Washers
are complete with hoses, hose connecter, drain shut-off valve and a lifting rod
for small prints.
Workmanship guaranteed
for 5 years.

Notice:
To
my American customers; the U S Bureau of Customs and Border Protection (CBP)
is enforcing the 1972 regulation that states : Identification numbers
of the 'ultimate consignee' are required on the customs invoice which
accompanies each washer shipment. CBP requires the IRS Employer
Identification Number issued to most business entities, or the Social
Security Number of individuals. CBP uses this information to target
shipments for closer scrutiny and anti-terrorism purposes.
It has been my policy to
cut out and shred any SSN included in correspondence or in customs
documentation after the shipping has been done. Although my computer is very
secure Do not e-mail your SSN to me mail it with your check or Money
Order.
