Should I use dedicated trays for toning solutions, or is it okay to use trays I am using for processing such as fixer trays and just rinse/clean them thoroughly ?

thanks

I do exactly as you mention GP - BUT I never use any other tray in use, ESPECIALLY NOT the DEV tray!

But on the other hand another tray or two if you want to be ultra careful, can be got at quite a low price I should imagine.

The choice is yours! :smile:

In an ideal world you would use dedicated trays. But it's not essential. I use all my trays interchangeably, just be careful about cleaning (rinsing) them.
Rinsing after use is obvious, I usually give the tray a quick rinse before using it too, as a precaution.

I keep like media in the trays, dev tray sees alkaline toner or HCA, selenium toner goes into fixer trays for example. No idea if it makes sense.
