Nova Print Washer, Washmaster Eco, Fibre, 12 x 16in.

All fine art photographers and printers know that washing is as important as any part of the picture taking and making process. Nova has succeeded in designing and manufacturing a range of archival washers that, with the minimum amount of water, wash your valuable prints properly.

The process of removing unused fixer and/or silver/thiosulphate compounds is mandatory to avoid print deterioration caused by insufficient washing. That is why we particularly like the new Nova Washmaster Eco range.

Put simply, they wash prints quickly, safely and correctly. This 5-slot washer acts as five individual washers in one with no risk of cross-contamination. The spiralling vortex system of water jets gently but efficiently disperses the harmful salts over both sides of the print and then into an outlet weir. Typical washing times for a maximum size 12 x 16-inch fibre print is only 20 minutes if pre-washed in Hypo Clearing bath (wash-aid). Hard-water areas may even be quicker than this.
