I always use the liquid once, but I would not mind to throw a liter away if that solved my problem. I do not print a lot.
I am a bit concerned about using one liter for other reasons. I develop my 14x17 negs in the same 3063 drum with 700mL of chemistry and the Jobo ain't particularly happy with all that load. One liter could be too much for the motor I have. My Jobo is the second generation, so it's not that weak. But it is not a third generation either.
I want to do a couple of prints today with the lid of the drum carefully closed (so, no wobble) and just enough water in the tempering trough so that I am sure the drum does not float.
It is clear that developer did not reach those areas, so possibilities I see:
> The paper got rolled and one end overlaped the other.
> The reverse function worked poorly (plastic gearing?) and with that drum size it not made full turns, with a side never immersed in the developer.
To not waste more paper, before stop bath, open the drum in safe light and inspect, if a pitfall guess the reason and develop again well to completion, result should be even.
notch codes ? I only use one film...
500ml is not enough developer for a print this size. Start with a litre and see how that goes.
Minimum is 300ml, http://www.jobo-usa.com/images/manua...capacities.pdf
