I see what you mean about one glass surface now. I still don't find glass
in a carrier as much of a problem as others seem to. I can't imagine having
to go back to a Beseler or Omega, with their glassless carriers.

I have a CAP40 processor. Although still a time-consuming process, I still
find it a big improvement over a drum.

You must be very careful about cross-contamination of chemistry. You have
to replenish exactly as per the instructions. Also I use the P30P chemistry
and CF.1K paper (plastic) which helps to keep contrast down. If you put the
paper in crooked (especially 16x20) you'll have problems, as the gate is
only about 16.5 inches wide.
