Fuji Frontier Dark Box for wet plate?

[NCAmother]

I’m looking for portable darkroom solutions for processing 4x5 wet plates and was considering the Fuji Frontier? Is it BIG enough for processing 4x5? Thanks.

I was under the impression the Fuji Frontier is a laser printer system. How would that apply to making 4x5 wet plates?? What am I missing here??

You are very completely and essentially misunderstanding the process of making wet collodion plates.

I would suggest a good book, either Quinn Jacobsen’s or the Ostermans’, to help you get hold of what’s going on.

The Fuji Frontier is also the name for a portable darkroom tent

Yes, for those who haven't heard of this, search for "Fuji Frontier Dark Box". I've edited the thread title to avoid further confusion.

You need more room than you would think as you have to manipulate the plates and trays. Here's a link you'll find useful:
