Paterson PAT334 Set 3X 20x25cm Schalen

Paterson PAT334 Set 3X 20x25cm Schalen | Three trays for a more organised darkroom

Getting a darkroom routine in order can be awkward when you’re short of trays. The Paterson PAT334 is a set of three darkroom trays, each measuring 20 x 25 cm, giving you a straightforward way to set up three separate stages of your work. It suits photographers putting together a small darkroom setup, or anyone looking to replace trays and keep to one size. The appeal is simple: three matching trays, without needing to source them one at a time. You can assign a place to each stage in your process and keep the sequence clear as you work. It’s a practical bit of kit rather than something complicated, which is exactly what many darkroom setups call for. Before choosing, consider whether this tray size fits the prints you work with and the space you have available.

Planning your darkroom workflow

I’d start by thinking through your usual process, then decide what role each tray will have before you begin. That small bit of planning helps keep the work area orderly and makes it easier to move from one stage to the next. If you’re adding these to trays you already own, consider how you’ll arrange them together; if you’re starting from scratch, the set gives you three matching sizes to plan around. The useful point here is the set’s clear, specific format: three trays at the same stated size. There’s no need to guess how many are included or work out whether the dimensions differ between them. A simple choice, provided that size suits the way you work.
