    Jobo Multitank 2 & 2509 - How much liquid?

    I want to process 6 sheets of 4x5 film in a Jobo Multitank 2 with a 2509 reel.
    How much ml of liquid do i have to use? I do not use some kind of processor.

    If you're talking about using it for inversion - why don't you put the reel in the tank, then measure the volume of water it takes to fill the tank?

    If you're talking about using it on a roller base, I think 300mL is enough for 6 sheets.
    If you're using the larger tank with two 6-sheet reels, 600mL is the ticket.

    All the info is available online from Jobo's website (or Jobo-usa.com).
    2520 (multitank 2) - rotation with 2509 - Minimum 270ml. You do not need a processor - just roll the tank back and forth on a smooth surface, or get a roller base.
    Your developer dilution might call for a greater amount to be used per sqaure inch. of active material, this is true for every tank.

    Inversion is not recommended, but most definitely possible - 1250ml needed.

    2550 (multitank 5) - with 2X 2509 - 640ml minimum

    Actually, only 1250ml is needed when doing inversion with the multitank 2.

    Jobo Tank Capacities says 270mL for a 2523 tank with 2509 in it. You don't need a fancy processor, just a couple rollers to roll it on.

    How do you get along with 6 sheets? Ive tried a couple of times but fail due to sheets sticking together.
    Oh and thats using a rotary processor and the two small "baffles"

    Some practice in the light and you will get it. You can always get the 2508 loader.
