Problem Statement

Current dark room tongs are ineffective and make it very difficult to grasp the prints from out of the chemicals. The gripping system that they use just doesn’t adhere enough to hold them and take them out of the chemicals. Also with the current tongs, the chemicals get caught in some of the grooves and contaminate the other chemicals. The design has to be simple yet rigid to take the wear.

These tongs will be useful, but the mood board doesnt give a very clear represtentation of what the product is for, it seems like the product from the mood board is more aimed toward cameras and not dark rooms.

Sounds like a good idea. I don’t have any experience with developing photos, but it would be very useful for the entire photo industry.

Sounds like a good idea if you use dark rooms often.

These tongs would be great. I haveworked in a dark room and the tongs that i used were terrible.

so I haven't used tongs for photography but I'm thinking that maybe putting a bend on the end of the tongs will allow you to get under the prints and get them out
