Multiple sheet processing drum

[Csholl]

Hi,

I had thought I saw a processing drum that could take multiple sheets 10-12 at a time. I know most ones just take one sheet. Is there once like this, not sure?

What format are you talking about?

There are TANKS that will take multiple sheets of 4x5; the Yankee Tank will take up to 12 sheets.

However, please understand these were designed for Press Photography use and the relatively low volume (in relation to the number of sheets of film) demands a very high energy developer to properly process a full load.

This may not coincide with your desired output if you are attempting "fine art" type of negatives.

More information is needed on your format and desired end use...

What Kino said... The Jobo 3010 Expert Drum will take 10 sheets of 4x5, though it's eye wateringly expensive. Inserts for Paterson tanks will hold multiple sheets of 4x5 as well as size specific tanks. There are DIY options, too.

There are many other drums that, for example, will hold FOUR 4x5 sheets in the 8x10 drum, but there are limitations & cautions. As others have suggested, we need more details about what you are doing -- or trying to do.

Yes, I meant prints 8x10 or 11x14.

The Jobo 3062 drum is designed to accept up to 3 8x10 prints or 2 11x14 prints at a time, the 3063 is designed to accept up to 6 8x10 prints or 2 11x14 prints at a time. Neither is cheap these days.

Hey, so it looks like there are some options for processing multiple 8x10 or 11x14 prints at once. For example, the Jobo 3062 drum can handle up to 3 8x10 prints or 2 11x14 prints.

Ah, paper!

You will need to arrange to sell a kidney and find a tabletop processor.
