AUTOMATED, DARKROOM FREE 4x5 DEVELOPING SYSTEM

AUTOMATED, DARKROOM FREE 4x5 DEVELOPING SYSTEM

from $395.00

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.
