I am looking for a 16x20 archival washer eg. Versalab, Zone VI etc. Doesn't have to be huge capacity as long as it's 6 or more prints.

Located in Canada for shipping purposes. If you've got something and you're willing to ship please drop me a line with details and price. Thanks!
 


I have the Salthill 16 x 20 print washer, maybe the finest ever made. But it's godawful bulky and heavy. I don't know how it could be shipped for any reasonable amount. I am in Fairbanks, you are in Whitehorse. Want to drive up and get it before the snow falls? Bring packing material to protevt the acrylic sheets, padding, etc.

All the roads are paved. I used to do the drive in one long day, but now I'm a little old for that, so I take two days. It's barely used. Decent 16 x 20 print washers run about $800, so $400 seems fine. Or maybe $400 minus your gas money.

too late; my Versalab was up for sale a year ago from
Florida but there was no interest, so, it went into the bin. sorry
 
As a point of reference, I had a 16x20 plexi washer shipped about 5 or 6 years ago, and it was a bit over 100 US for the shipping. Bicycle boxes are good sources for adaptable large, sturdy boxes, plexi washers are ungainly and heavy, but not especially fragile, so they don't need a lot of protection for shipping.
