Hi all,

I plan to make 16x20 b/w fiber prints in the darkroom.

Just wondering from your experience how you handle developing large prints and transferring the print from tray to tray (dev, stop, fix) in order to prevent chemical contamination on the print?

I have a huge pet peeve when peers mishandle tongs and do not place them in the proper trays.

What are your personal preferences of handling a large print to prevent contamination during development?

Nitrile Gloves and using the same pair of gloves (that is after drying the current pair with a towel)? Use a new pair of Nitrile Gloves each time you process a print? Or Tongs?

I've used tongs for printing 11x14's but never had printed large such as a 16x20.

Appreciate your feedback.
