Jobo CPE2 question

[rich caramadre]

Can a CPE2 be used to process 8x10 and 11x14 film? I'm not sure if this model can take big enough drums. Thanks for any info.

The Expert drums can't be used. But I've successfully done 8x10 many times, using paper drums. As these have no provisions for a chemistry flow behind the sheet, you may have to re-wash or fix the sheets in a tray after processing to clear remaining blotches of back coating dye.

Look into the 2800 series drums. They are print drums but many film bases do OK being up against the drum during processing. Some films, however, may show lines from the grooves in the drum.

The 2830 wil run 2 sheets of 8X10, some users report excellent results with sheets film, others, as mentioned above need some tweaks to get it right.
The multitank 5 which has a smooth inner surface will take 1 sheet of 8X10, same as above applies.

The 2840 will take 11x14 sheets.
