Re: Jobo Rotary processors
The processors in my darkroom when i shot film, were Jobo models. The CPE (if that is what the 11x14 model was) and the CPP (if that is what the 20x24 model was) served me dependably from 1987 when I started processing all of my own work, until 2002 when I moved into the digital realm. With these units, I processed all of my own prints, much of my own film (35mm and 120/220), transviews, duratrans, cibachrome, transparencies - - - they could handle it all. The temperatures stay very stable so that I always got consistent results with my chemical mix/temperature/time combinations. The larger models were a little better at maintaining exact temperature as a result of the water area being better covered and the chemical bottle area being more isolated from the open air. The only thing that I consider an essential with any of the units, is the lift - - - the lift will set you back a bit more money , but is invaluable.
