Abstract

It is well known to use a transport belt to transport material being processed through photographic processing apparatus. In some arrangements, water is used to hold photographic material against the belt using surface tension. However, other means are needed to apply processing solution to the sensitized surface of the material being processed. Described herein is an arrangement in which the transport belt (10) is used to both transport the material (32,34) through the apparatus and to apply processing solution (18) to the sensitized surface.
