The present invention relates to a method and to a processing band for processing a sheet or strip of photographic material (1) which has been image exposed and is brought into surface contact, in the presence of water, with a carrier (2) which is impregnated with the required processing chemicals. The photographic material (1) which has been image exposed is repeatedly moved along a closed path and brought into surface contact with the processing band (2) along a specified portion of said path in the presence of water, the processing band (2) having at least wo sections with different processing functions (A, B, C . . . ) arranged one behind the other, with which every portion of the photographic material (1) comes successively into contact.
A method of processing a photographic material in the form of a sheet which has been image exposed, in which the photographic material is brought into surface contact with the support impregnated with the required processing chemicals in the presence of the required quantity of water, characterised in that
A processing band for processing photographic materials in the form of a sheet which has been image exposed, by which the photographic material is brought into surface contact with the support, impregnated with the required processing chemicals in the presence of the required quantity of water, characterized in that the processing band is provided with at least two sections containing different processing chemicals and are arranged one behind the other in longitudinal direction, these sections are of equal lengths or multiples of the length if the respective processing chemical used is applied successively and the length of the longitudinal processing sections is equal to or a multiple of the sheet length to be processed.
