Okay, I've done a bit of hanger processing of 8x10 sheets, but that's quite wasteful with 3.5 gallon tanks and only a handful of sheets at a time.
I bought out a bunch of darkroom stuff at an auction this weekend which included a nice Unicolor power roller base and processing drum. Got me to thinking, can this be used for processing for a single 8x10 sheet at a time and using only a few ounces of chemistry per sheet.?
Seems like it would be about the same as using my Kindermann roller processor with 35mm and 120 reels and tanks, but would this unicolor gear give smooth and even processing, or; since the agitation would be continuous and in a non-varying track, would it cause silver trails like letting roll film develop without agitation?
If this is a good idea, the obvious problem is calculating a new processing time due to the fact that it would be continuous and therefore higher energy agitation compared to the intermittent agitation with hanger processing? Can anyone help with this time calculation?
Thanks.
