Kaiser 4166 White Developing Tray 24 × 30 – a grooved base for darkroom paper processing

For developing photographic prints in a darkroom, the Kaiser 4166 is a white tray in a 24 × 30 format. It’s a straightforward piece of equipment for working with photographic paper and processing chemicals, with a grooved base and a pouring spout that suit the routine of a print-processing session. Use it as a tray for a chemical bath, or keep it on hand for processing paper prints in the stated size. The white finish gives the tray a clear, distinct appearance among darkroom equipment. Its shape is made for the practical sequence of working with paper: chemicals move across the base, and the grooves also support removal of the paper. The spout is there for pouring liquid from the tray. For anyone setting up a darkroom or replacing a tray, the key point is its combination of the 24 × 30 format and functional details for handling chemistry and paper.

Darkroom Tray Details

• Shock-resistant construction: The tray is specified as shock-resistant, a useful property for equipment that is handled and moved around a darkroom. It’s a clear durability detail for a working tray, rather than a decorative feature.
• Resistant to acids: The material is described as acid-resistant, which matters when the tray is used with darkroom processing chemicals. That resistance is a practical consideration for a piece of equipment used to hold chemical solutions.
• Heat-resistant to 80°C: The stated heat resistance reaches 80°C. This gives a specific upper temperature figure to bear in mind when choosing the tray for a darkroom setup.
• Grooved base for chemical flow: Ridges on the bottom support the movement of chemicals through the tray. That base detail is relevant while paper is being processed in a chemical bath, rather than leaving the bottom as a smooth, featureless surface.
• Grooves support paper removal: The grooved floor is also intended to make it easier to lift photographic paper from the tray. It addresses the handling stage as well as the flow of liquid, keeping both functions within the tray’s base design.
• Pouring spout: A spout is incorporated for pouring liquid out of the tray. It’s a simple, purpose-specific detail for emptying the contents after use.
