martin_pistor Posted August 15, 2002 Share Posted August 15, 2002 Hi folks, whereas there are a lot of guys with experience in the real large format are around here there might be a hint available. How do you process your big sheets (8x10)??????? Is there a tank-system available wich can be handled under light (of course after loading in darkness) comparable to the jobo drums (I only found drums for 4x5 and heared about one for 5x7) or are you all developing the stuff in trays and total darkness, or inside paper drums one sheet after the other???

art_haykin Posted August 15, 2002 Share Posted August 15, 2002 In the very beginning, I used trays, then went to metal hangers and 3 1/2 gallon tanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
howard b. schwartz Posted August 15, 2002 Share Posted August 15, 2002 i use btz tubes. they work fine. you can also, if you want, make them yourself. these can be done in the light, and the developement is uniform. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
david_goldfarb Posted August 15, 2002 Share Posted August 15, 2002 I use trays, but tubes are popular and tanks and hangers for higher volume. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jorge_gasteazoro4 Posted August 15, 2002 Share Posted August 15, 2002 Jobo expert drums on a beseler motor base....best way to go..! There is an expert drum for 8x10 which you can use to develop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
john_hicks___ Posted August 15, 2002 Share Posted August 15, 2002 Unicolor print drums work fine; the 8x10 drum will do of course one sheet while the 11x14 drum will hold two sheets. Agitate by rolling on a tabletop or use the motorized Uniroller. I've accumulated several 11x14 drums so I can just run one two-sheet load after another; otoh I have a low volume but if I had more I'd go with a Jobo expert drum.
