ABSTRACT:
A rack for use in a low volume thin tank of a photosensitive web processing apparatus. The rack comprises a plurality of fluid circulation ports in a face of the rack for applying fluid to a photosensitive web during processing. The fluid circulation ports are arranged, in use, to discharge fluid into and withdraw fluid from the tank in which the rack is situated. The rack has a textured surface structure over which the fluid passes in use to provide agitation of the fluid in the tank. Improved processing of the photosensitive web can result, thereby also reducing the time taken to process the web. Additionally, the rack may be modular in construction, thereby facilitating the installation of the rack into the tank of the processing apparatus.
