9. Specific processing instructions
Introduction to Specific Processes
Please read all the information below about the specific process you are going to use. Doing so will give you valuable insight on the process and rotary specific issues.
There are many 'standard' processes, and many more variations of standard processes. The process procedures listed below are the specific recommendations from JOBO for rotary processing with a JOBO processor. Other processing chemicals, equipment or techniques may require modified instructions for best results. These process procedures should produce optimal processing with your processor. It is unlikely that you will need to significantly modify the times or procedures listed below. If you have questions or concerns about your processing, when using these recommendations with a JOBO processor, contact JOBO for assistance.
JOBO distributes a line of photo chemicals manufactured in Germany by Tetenal, a world-renowned supplier of quality and innovative photo chemicals for over 70 years. Tetenal makes a complete line of color and black and white chemicals. In Germany, Tetenal has been working in close cooperation with JOBO research and development personnel for many years, to produce chemicals that are ideal for rotary processing.
We list in this section the most popular Kodak and Tetenal chemical processes. You may use virtually any brand or type of photo chemicals with your processor. If you are using a color chemical not listed in this section, use the Kodak equivalent process listed below. Nearly all 'clone' or compatible type chemicals will process correctly with the Kodak equivalent times and temperatures. Always test the procedure with non-critical materials before committing irreplaceable materials with an untried process procedure and chemical combination. If a manufacturer's recommendations vary significantly from those listed in this section, contact the manufacturer for rotary-specific instructions.
For information about obsolete processes such as EP-2, C-22, E-2, E-3, or E-4, contact the supplier of the chemicals for assistance.
Note:
All photo processing chemicals and rinse water contain ingredients and by-products from the chemicals and processed materials. These components may be regulated by local, state, or federal agencies. There may be governmental regulations requiring certain procedures for the disposal of photo processing effluent. JOBO, understandably, cannot be aware of all possible requirements or restrictions. We therefore urge you to be informed, and follow any regulations in your specific location. Please check with your local government, or water control authority concerning these requirements. You may get Material Safety Data Sheets (M.S.D.S.) from your photo dealer, or from the chemical manufacturer. These sheets list the ingredients, and contain important information on proper storage and handling of specific chemicals. They also contain emergency phone numbers and information on poisoning and spillage. You may be required by law to have M.S.D.S. for all your chemicals, if used in a business. JOBO urges you to have Material Safety Data Sheets for every photo chemical you use, as reference.

To minimize the risk of cross contamination when changing from process to process, use the following bottles (1-6) to hold your chemistry:
- E-6: Bottle 1 - First developer, bottle 2 - Reversal, bottle 3 - Color developer. bottle 4 - Conditioner, bottle 5 - Bleach, bottle 6 - Fix.
- C-41: Bottle 4 - Color developer, bottle 5 - Bleach, bottle 6 - Fix.
- B&W: Bottle 1 - First developer, bottle 4 - Stabilizer, bottle 6 - Fix.
- RA-4: Bottle 4 - Color developer, bottle 4 - Stabilizer, bottle 5 - Bleach-fix.
- R-3000: Bottle 1 - First developer, bottle 3 - Color developer, bottle 5 - Bleach-fix.
- Ilfochrome©: Bottle 1 - First developer, bottle 5 - Bleach, bottle 6 - Fix.
Note:
Unless specifically instructed for a special processing procedure, you should normally use the rotation speed of 75 RPM for all 1500, 2500 and 2800 series tanks or drums. Use the rotation speed of 50 RPM for all 3000 series drums unless instructed else wise.
