Envoy Plate Developing Tank
Shared by
Western Bay Museum
A developing tank is a light-tight container used for developing photographic film. It allows photographic film to be developed in a daylight environment, which is necessary because most film is panchromatic and therefore cannot be exposed to any light during processing. Depending on the size and type, a developing tank can hold one to many roll or sheet films. The process of developing film in a tank involves loading the film onto a film reel in a completely dark environment, which can be a light-tight room or a changing bag. Once the film is on the reel, it is put into the developing tank, and then a lid is placed on the developing tank to block out all light.
