Film Developing Tools
Choose Film Drying Clips and Negative Sleeves
Measure how much space the longest wet strip needs when it hangs from a clip. Then choose the sleeves around the way you cut that film and the binder or box you already own.
Choose clips for the drying space
Check the hook, clip width and whether the set includes a weight for the bottom. A rack with movable clips helps separate several strips. Allow space below the full strip and choose a contact point on the end of the film.
Compare a wiper with your film-handling routine
If you use a wiper, follow the film and tool maker’s care instructions. Check the contact surfaces for debris or wear before putting them against the film. A replaceable blade can be useful if you dry film often.
Measure the strip and the outside of the page
The channel layout determines whether the cut strip fits. The outside page and its punched holes determine whether the page fits the binder. Record both dimensions before selecting a pack.
