Develop large paper prints with precision – without trays.
The Vintage Visual REEL – Paper 8 makes it possible to process photographic paper up to 40 × 30 cm (16 × 12") inside a standard Paterson 8-reel tank. As the first reel of its kind, it offers a practical and space-efficient solution for developing oversized prints in a closed tank system.
Designed for smooth loading in complete darkness, the reel is made from durable ASA plastic, ensuring strength, reliability and long-term performance in the darkroom.
Flexible workflow:
The REEL – Paper 8 supports both traditional and modern darkroom processes:
- Black & white paper – develop by hand using standard agitation
- RA-4 colour paper – use together with the AGO Film Processor for consistent rotary processing
By eliminating the need for trays, you reduce mess, improve consistency and optimise chemical usage.
Recommended accessory:
For easier and faster filling of the larger tank when using AGO, we recommend the AGO Quick Pour Funnel.
