Question about Nova FB print processor
In article ,
Lloyd Erlick Lloyd at @the-wire. dot com wrote: I used to watch a buddy of mine make four 16x20s at a time in his triple-tray setup. It makes my heart go into my mouth just watching. No doubt this is a personality flaw peculiar to me, but I have a perfect solution that does not involve psychoanalysis. One sheet at a time in one tray. You must have a _lot_ of time on your hands. I used to do large black and white prints in a drum on my Jobo -- if I were going to process one sheet at a time, that is probably what I would still do. But at approximately 10 minutes of wet time per print (2.5 minutes develop; 30 seconds stop; 3 minutes x 2 fix; plus pour in and out time) the processing alone would be 40 minutes for two test prints and two finals -- never mind all the partial test strips etc. The rotary processor makes _beautiful_ black and white prints -- you realize just how many little irregularities creep in in tray processing -- and it is nice to work with the lights on, but I would like to be able to go into the darkroom for two or three hours and come out with more than one finished print for my trouble! -- Thor Lancelot Simon "The liberties...lose much of their value whenever those who have greater private means are permitted to use their advantages to control the course of public debate." -John Rawls |

The drain goes up the side of the tray and then connects to a 10" long 1/2" ID rubber hose. All one needs to do is to tip up the tray with the hose in a bottle and all the chemicals are drained out without even introducing air into the mix. == December 4, 2006, from Lloyd Erlick, Brilliant! Let's go into business manufacturing these things! With all the black and white darkroom workers out there, I'm sure we'll get rich ... Ah ! This explains why the company went belly up ! == John S.

Heh. Yeah. I don't have a lot of time on my hands... :-) Thanks for the call back. As you can see this discussion has inspired me to have another try at large monochrome prints with my Jobo! -- Thor Lancelot Simon "The liberties...lose much of their value whenever those who have greater private means are permitted to use their advantages to control the course of public debate." -John Rawls |
