Abstract
Described herein is a compact photographic processor which uses small volumes of processing solution to achieve effective processing without the need for process control. The processor comprises an applicator element (50) having a plurality of orifices formed along its length, a plurality of reservoirs (54, 56, 58) each containing processing solution, and a pressure system (60, 61, 62). The element (50) is connected to one side of the reservoirs (54, 56, 58) by means of a manifold (52), the other side of the reservoirs (54, 56, 58) being connected to the pressure system (60, 61, 62). The processing solutions may be dispensed from the element (50) as jets.
