	Speaking of print washers, does anybody know how good in an archival sense
those big, stainless steel Arkay print washers are?  The ones with the big
rotating steel cage inside what looks like a steel washtub.
	I picked one up used last year for a song when the local university was
shutting down one of it's big darkrooms (along with some other gear).
Works fine, uses a  lot of water, but I always wondered just how archival
they are.
