Vintage Visual Reel Paper 8 for Paterson 8 Tank

Vintage Visual Reel Paper 8 for Paterson 8 Tank

The Vintage Visual REEL Paper 8 is an innovative darkroom reel designed to make developing large photographic prints easier, cleaner, and more practical. Designed to fit inside a standard Paterson 8-reel tank, it allows photographers to process paper up to 30 x 40cm (12 x 16in) without the need for open trays, helping to reduce mess and improve consistency.

Why We Like It

Large print processing can quickly become messy and take up a lot of darkroom space. This offers a much neater and more controlled approach, especially for photographers working in smaller darkrooms or anyone looking to simplify colour paper processing. Being able to develop prints this large in a closed tank system feels surprisingly practical once you try it.
