Hi All,
I currently have a 11 x 14 vertical print washer..the type that has slots that you sink the prints down into. it works fine but is a bit of a PITA.
Yesterday i picked up a 32" circular print washer. This is the stainless steel type that rotates from water pressure. It sits flat like a big pancake. It works but it is big, takes up a LOT of room and uses a LOT of water.
So the questions:
Is this type of washer superior to the normal vertical washer? When I spent time with Michael A Smith he showed me that he uses this type of washer for a 1/2 hour for the first wash then the prints make it to a vertical washer for the second wash of an hour. Can I use the circular washer alone and use it for the 2nd wash as well? Are there any advantages or disadvantages to this type of washer?
thanks
david
