Re: Color processing/printing with Jobo setup?

I've used Jobo CPE/CPP processors for many years. I still process color 35mm and (mostly) 120 film in a CPP. Works great. I used to do prints in these units, but that part of the process is now digital for me. Works ok for 4x5, but you will need the larger CPA or CPP unit and the drum for 4x5 isn't cheap. There is a cheaper way of loading 4x5 sheets onto a reel and then processing that in a drum, but that method is very sub-optimal.

Be sure to buy the associated lift. I can't imagine not having one.

I used to use the Bessler chemistry kits for C-41, but apparently they are no longer available. I now use the Tetanal kits for C-41. I get them from B&H in New York. I use the chemistry in a one-shot manner.

Good luck,
