    Home Depot Sells Print Trays?

    No, but they do sell a white rectangular tray with a flat bottom that can hold a 27" x 30" print. It appears to be designed to go under a washing machine or water heater. $20 each. Not as strong or chemical resistant as a high-end print tray, but it's hard to beat the price...

    I don't play the piano, I don't have a beard and I listen to AC/DC in the darkroom. I have no hope as a photographer.

    Anyone know what they are made of? What kind of plastic that is.

    How deep is it? Looks kinda short. Might lose a lot of chemistry slopping around.

    It's about 2 1/2 inches deep.

    My plan is to put little plastic spigots on that flat area. This will make emptying the trays easier.

    I have not used my big trays yet. I don't think I have any 8x10 negatives that good to print so big yet. In fact, I have some 16x20 I need to finish up first.

    For all those folks needing to put a darkroom in a bathroom, these look ideal for positioning over the bathtub as a higher surface than leaning over to develop film and prints in trays on the bottom of the tub.

    Very cool.
