Digital BW, The Print

Not sure anyone mentioned this yet, but you can shoot it all day and 
then do your processing in the comfort of your own home later. Just 
don't pull the pod through the rollers after exposure, do the rollers 
off - pull a little- rollers on - pull a little - rollers off - pull 
the sheet out of the holder procedure (not processed). Then later, put 
the sheet back in the holder, move the lever to process and pull like 
normal. I hope that makes sense.
