Anyone know which format holder is required for developing 20x24 paper in a jobo 4551 drum?
The drum is 51cm high and 40cm circumference so there must be a special format holder for doing 20x24 paper which it says it can handle. I have a 4511 holder but can't see how that would work for 20x24

AFAIK, the Jobo 3063 expert drums are the only drums designed for 20x24 paper - they work a treat requiring only 300ml of chemistry(one shot) for a 20x24 print. A real pleasure not having 20x24 fiber prints flopping around when you can do them in a drum.

Well yes the 3063 is the only currently available drum for 20x24. But the out of production 4551 drum was also supposed to do 20x24. It says so on the jobo label on the side of the tank. They had format holders for different size prints and that is what I'm looking to find out about. i.e. the format holder number for 20x24 prints.

p.s. the 3063 is bloody expensive for a plastic tube:mad:
