Your workflow is very different from mine. I do single tray
processing which saves a lot of space as I don't have to have a lot
of trays spread out for the different steps. I would certainly agree
with you that kallitype processing would be a lot more complex if
working with a separate tray for every step. However, using a single
16X20" tray I can process up to four 8X10 prints at once, which would
take about 40 minutes from start to finish so making a dozen prints
of that size, or more for that matter, in a half-day session would be
quite feasible. Anything over 8X10 I work on one at a time,
regardless of process.
