AUTOMATED, DARKROOM FREE 4x5 DEVELOPING SYSTEM
AUTOMATED, DARKROOM FREE 4x5 DEVELOPING SYSTEM
Fully automated solution for developing your cherished 4x5 sheet film directly within the holder.
This innovative system completely negates the need for a traditional darkroom for loading and processing. Imagine the freedom of developing your large format masterpieces wherever your photography takes you!
Develop Directly in Your 4x5 Film Holder: This system is uniquely designed to process your 4x5 sheet film while it remains safely inside your standard film holder. This eliminates the need for a darkroom or changing bag for loading film into a separate developing tank.
Automated Chemical Delivery via Peristaltic Pump: Features a dedicated peristaltic pump for precise and controlled delivery of developer concentrate. This ensures accurate dilution and consistent developer strength for each development cycle.
Dedicated Water Pump and Reservoir: Includes a separate water pump and reservoir for precise pre-wetting, intermediate washes, and final rinsing, all managed automatically by the timer system.
Separate Fixer Reservoir: A dedicated reservoir for your fixer solution ensures no cross-contamination and allows for easy storage and reuse of your fixer.
Rapid Chemistry Distribution: Siphons are employed to quickly and evenly distribute each chemical solution throughout the developing system, ensuring uniform development across the entire film surface and minimizing development artifacts.
Complete Drainage System: The system is designed for complete and efficient drainage of all chemistry and water after each stage directly from the holder, preventing carry-over and ensuring optimal processing.
Sequential Timer System for Automated Workflow: An integrated series of timers controls the entire development sequence. This automated workflow precisely manages the delivery of each chemical in the correct order and duration, from pre-wet to final rinse, allowing for hands-off operation during the crucial stages.
Light-Tight Design for Daylight Processing: The combination of the light-tight film holder and the system's design allows for film processing in broad daylight with no darkroom required!
Easy to Use and Clean: DThe system is designed for intuitive operation and straightforward cleaning between chemistry refills
True On-the-Go Film Development: Develop your film immediately after exposure, wherever you are, without the constraints of a traditional darkroom.
No Darkroom or Changing Bag Needed: Load your film as usual, shoot it, and then insert your film holder into the developer slot! Let the automated system handle the entire development process inside the holder.
Unmatched Consistency: The automated process eliminates human error in timing and chemical delivery, resulting in highly consistent and repeatable development of your black and white 4x5 negatives.
Precise Chemical Management: The peristaltic pump and measured reservoirs ensure accurate chemical dilutions and usage.
Increased Efficiency: Automate your entire development workflow, freeing up your time for more shooting.
Clean and Contamination-Free Processing: The dedicated reservoirs, siphons, and complete drainage system minimize the risk of chemical contamination.
