Zoe ★★★★★

I've been using this tray for a few weeks now and the hard plastic really holds up well to repeated chemical baths. The 12x16 size is perfect for my 11x14 prints with plenty of room to maneuver.

Ella ★★★★★

The chemical-resistant plastic gives me peace of mind when I'm mixing stop bath and fixer in the same session. It holds my 12x16 prints flat while I work, and the gray color hides stains way better than my old white trays.

Richard U. ★★★★★

Finally, a tray that doesn't slide around on the counter; the textured bottom keeps it planted even with a full batch of prints. I also appreciate how the rigid plastic has resisted staining from my developer, looking nearly new after several sessions.
