I finally got an 8x10 enlarger!!! :)

I've been wanting an 8x10 enlarger for a while so I can make some big enlargements from my 8x10 negatives, and now that I will soon have one, I'm gearing up to start printing. So far, I've just been using trays the size of the print I'm making, but as prints get bigger, the amount of chemicals used increases. I've seen images of trays which are long and narrow, that paper gets rolled through rather than laid flat in. This seems like a more economical way to make big prints, but I haven't been able to find these trays anywhere. Attached is a picture of the type of tray I'm thinking of, does anyone know where this kind can be acquired?

Thanks,
Ethan

Plastic wall paper hanger's trays. You still need enough chemicals to process the required surface area.

I went to Home Depot they have under the bed heavy duty plastic storage units that I use are perfect for scrolling prints.
