Ken, there is a FB Print processor range made by Nova which has a 'clear'
window (wall) on the developing slot.  You can easily inspect density with
this system. The FB is available as 16x12 and 20x16 sizes. There is a heater
for developing and fixing slots (optional whether you utilise it, of
course).
Also this system comes with a much better print 'holder' -- it is a sort of
frame that supports the weight of large prints without the worry of buckling
or collapse of the print when wet. The slots are slightly 'angled' to
prevent the print contacting the walls of the tank. With the regular print
clip you can manage RC processing in the same system which makes it a great
all-round B&W unit.
Best regards,
Ross.
