Abstract
A rapid access processing method for processing and delivering successive image frames on a continuous carrier web in a manner so that processing liquid spread over the area of each image frame on the carrier web is confined essentially to the image frame to leave areas of the carrier web uncovered by the image frame free of processing liquid. The carrier web also supports a pod of processing liquid along a leading edge of each image frame as well as a trap along a trailing edge of each image frame. The spent pods and wet traps are transferred from the carrier web, after processing, to an image bearing web from which image media was transferred to the image frames during processing.
