Tray Warmers in Lidl…
-
Was in Lidl this evening and picked up a Silvercrest Electric Hot Tray for 22 euro… (used to keep plates of food hot…)
Dont know how well it will work as a tray warmer for print development but seems to be very very hot. Hopefully it wont melt the development tray…
Anyhow might be worth trying…

Interesting, does it have any sort of temperature control perchance..
No it doesnt have any temperature control. Just on and off…. I mostly use my existing tray warmer for lith printing. For lith printing especially for papers like Fomabrom you need the temperature up around 25 to 30 degrees C to get the dev times down, so you end up having it on its highest setting anyhow…
Peter they are 20cm x 40cm.
Just finished a lith printing session with it using 16×12 trays. Worked very very well, better than my existing purpose built tray warmer to be honest, as I was able to keep the water temp higher…
Just got a tray warmer from http://www.jcsupermarket.ie/special-offers.html” onclick=”window.open(this.href);return false; in Swords Co Dublin for 29.99euro. Its 21×14 inches in size so nice and big and should be able to keep the larger print trays warm when lith printing…it has a temperature knob on it to but I always leave them on full
There is also this device which looks handy: http://www.novadarkroom.com/product/346/Novatronic_Heater.html” onclick=”window.open(this.href);return false;
You can get similar heating tubes in pet shops for fish tanks which do the same thing but only half the price.
