The Paterson print tongs are designed for handling printing paper during processing in trays.

Supplied as colour-coded sets – one light grey, one dark grey and one red. Each tong has a textured side panel to provide a firm grip and deep shoulders to prevent them sliding into the tray of processing solution.

In use it is very important that each tong only enters the solution in the tray that the tong is allocated to. Otherwise there can be carry over backwards from the fixer tray to the developer tray, causing chemical contamination.
