Paterson Archival-Baryt image washer for photos up to 25.4x30.5 cm Finally an affordable barite washer with uniquely low water consumption due to the patented "shaking basket" system. The patented special valve circulates the water so that the picture basket is constantly "pushed". This creates a slight movement and at the same time requires only a minimum amount of water. A thin trickle is enough and your pictures wobble and wobble. This allows you to water long and thoroughly overnight and requires only a few litres of water. The disadvantage: If you set too little water pressure, it will not shake and if you set too much, the hose will fly off the tap. There are therefore customers who simply remove the valve and use only the flow circulation of the water. A few manual shakes will do. The washer has a capacity of

has a capacity of twelve prints in 25.4 x 30.5 cm (10 x 12 inches) or 20.3 x 25.4 CM (8 x 10 inches) format or twenty-four prints in 12 x 18 cm (5 x 7 inches) format or smaller.

Each print sits separately in the print holder so that the different prints never come into contact with each other and water is guaranteed to rinse both sides of the paper.

Movement of the press holder is possible because the water pressure activates a small pump near the water supply. It is important that the water pressure is carefully adjusted so that the pressuriser moves forwards and backwards.
