Notes:
Congratulations on your purchase of a JOBO AutoLab film and print processor. Please take a moment to complete and return the enclosed warranty card. The warranty card will register you as a processor owner. This registration will allow us to notify you of product updates and promotions.
With your new processor, you will be able to take advantage of a variety of tank and drum combinations to process virtually any film or print format. Your new processor is able to quickly switch back and forth between E-6, RA-4, Ilfochrome©, C-41, Black and White, etc... In addition to the processor, you will need a selection of tanks and drums depending on the film and print formats you use. Also, you will need a method of drying your material, and some type of water mixing panel that will control the water temperature of the incoming rinse water. (JOBO has a variety of products to accomplish everything you need).
Your processor will maintain up to twelve different programs depending on your needs. Its lithium battery protects your programs even if the power is disconnected for months. All the functions of processing your film and prints, except stabilizing and drying, are fully automatic.
Your AutoLab uses a recirculating water bath to maintain the temperature of the chemistry, and the tanks, reels, and film or paper to within ± 0.1° C. The rotation of the tank can be set to 25, 50, or 75 R.P.M, depending on the chemical process you are running.
After your chemistry has been pumped, the microprocessor deducts the amount used from the total volume you started with, and will not allow you to start a process with insufficient chemistry. Also, the processor will not start until the chemistry is within ± 0.3°C of the process temperature (unless you decide to override it).
Your new AutoLab, depending on the model, will even allow you to reclaim used chemistry in six separate one- or fifteen-liter containers.
