For years I marked my trays. Now I don't. The best thing to clean a developer tray is fix. You can use almost straight Rapid fix with a sponge and rubber gloves. But the best thin to do is don't always use the same tray for the same thing. (except Selenium) When you use a graying developer tray in the fix the fix will clean it gradually. I use a graying tray in the first of a standard two fix operation because the case might be made that the fix is cleaning the tray and redepositing it back on to your print. The silver that is. Forget about that paranoid myth called contamination! I've been doing that for the past 5 or 10 years and my trays are much more maintenance free. And my prints are fine. Rotate your trays! They get bored doing the same thing every day! Let them breath!! Mark :-) Rabiner
