Paterson Film and Print Processing Kit .

The processing equipment for film and prints, in one box.

This is the full setup. Tank and reels for developing, trays for printing, and the bits in between — thermometer, graduates, stirrer, tongs, clips, squeegee, safelight. You open the box and you have a working darkroom, minus chemistry and paper.

The developing tank is Paterson’s Universal Tank — two auto-load reels, handles 35mm and 120. The three trays are colour-coded so you keep your developer, stop, and fixer separate. That matters more than it sounds — cross-contamination kills prints.

We stock every item in this kit individually, so if you already own a tank or trays you can fill the gaps without doubling up. But if you’re setting up from scratch, this is the simplest way to get there — one box instead of nine separate purchases.

It also makes a great gift for someone getting into home developing. If you don’t know what a darkroom needs, Paterson have answered the question for you.

You’ll still need an enlarger, chemistry, and paper to make prints — and a changing bag to load the tank. But this covers everything else.
