    Calumet Stainless Steel Print washer

    I've been offered a Calumet print washer. Price TBD.

    Here's what I know:
    • it's made of stainless steel
    • has 10-12 slots for paper
    • supposedly 11x14
    • doesn't say Zone VI anywhere


    Waiting for a picture. But, in the meantime, I've tried searching for a "stainless steel Calumet print washer" and am coming up empty. Anyone familiar with these?

    Looks like I have to answer my own question.

    Searching on Calumet Print Washer was a dud. But searching images of "stainless steel print washer" finally produced a image like the seller sent me - of an Arkay. Then that led me to http://www.largeformatphotography.in...s-Print-Washer

    So it looks like the Rosy, rebranded Arkay, and sold by Calumet.

    I like the somewhat smaller size (compared to Zone VI and others), but not sure the overflow output will work in my small darkroom sink. A tube output would work better for me as I could mount it over the sink and direct the output.

    That looks like the washer made for Darkroom aids once upon a time.
    When DA closed way back when, Helix began selling them. Presumably Calumet also picked them up.
    A really excellent product with a pretty limited distribution.

    Calumet also purchased Gravity Works and sold the film/print washers under the Calumet brand name. The Gravity Works were not made of stainless steel tho.

    I've got one of those SS print washers. It seems to do what it's supposed to. I think I originally bought it from our own QT Luong.
