Small footprint print developing? Suggestions?

Hello friends!

I'm in need of a solution to a challenge and perhaps the community can help me... yours truly is looking to experiment with using photo paper in a pinhole view camera to create a negative, then scanning the print on my computer and reversing the image to achieve my final result. What I am looking for is a daylight tank of some sort that I could use to stick my paper sheets in and batch develop them all at once using minimal chemistry. My reasons are two-fold.

1. I want to minimize any environmental impact that darkroom chemistry can create
2. many years ago I reacted to darkroom chemistry in such a bad way I had to almost give up photography until digital quality came around to something decent and allowed me to continue taking photos

I remember seeing a funky 4x5 sheet film daylight tank ages back but don't know if anything still exists. Ideally I would love to use 8x10 but that would certainly be a stretch for a tank. What comes to mind is a developing system someone marketed years ago that reminded me of a toaster but was used for prints and film. Anybody remember or know what I'm trying to describe?

Thoughts appreciated!

Look up Nova Darkroom (they are in the UK). They sell Nova Print Processors.

Or a Beseler 8x10 print drum. You only need 75ml of chemistry per 8x10 piece of paper, or 4 4x5 pieces.

The Nova slot processors are wonderful but not cheap. I have used them for more than 10 years. They work well with RC paper; I think there's also one that works with fiber-based paper, but have no experience with it. I have a four-slot processor that includes a wash tank - all one unit, small footprint for up to 11X14; they also make them for 8x10. They are not, however, for batch processing - one sheet at a time. As to funky 4x5 tank, you may be thinking of the Yankee. Google it and see what comes up.
