Film Dryers
Contents:
Product Summary:
There are two reasons to dry film with forced hot air; the first is to protect it, the longer film is left exposed to air when wet, the more susceptible it is to damage from dust. The second reason applies to E-6 color positive film (slide film), it actually helps the permanence of the colors. JOBO has two models of film dryers that have interchangeable roll-film and sheet-film cabinets; a high-quality Mistral II Film Dryer , and a more economical model from Durst, the UT-100.
With its heavier gauge vinyl cabinet and magnetic closure system, the Mistral II is a bit more durable for heavy use particularly where employees are involved. The Durst UT100 is ideal for your personal darkroom.
Key Features
Protect your film
There are three ways to dry film; hang it up and air-dry it, use something like a hair-dryer, or use a film dryer designed specifically to dry photographic film. All three ways work, with varying safety. As with other choices, you need to decide how much safety you can afford.
Interchangeable roll and sheet-film cabinets
Most of the cost of a film dryer is tied up in the drying head. For this reason, both the JOBO Mistral II and the Durst UT100 are designed to accept a roll-film cabinet, or a sheet-film cabinet. There are 11 pins that hold the cabinets up on the Mistral and snaps on the UT100, and it take about 5-6 minutes to switch back and forth.
