Jobo CPP 3

Jobo CPE 3

The CPP, CPE are both processors made for developing all kind and formats of photografic film. These processors have a acurate waterbased temperture control system. There are 3 generations of the CPP and CPE processors.

The CPP is the bigger professional processor, connected to the tap and can handle all sizes of and tanks and therefore films. The CPE is smaller and cheaper, developed for serious photographers who want to develop C41 (color) films.

The new Jobo Silverbase

The Jobo Silverbase is made for B&W film development, which proces is not so sensitive for temperature fluctuations compare to the C41 proces. The processor is much cheaper, smaller and simpler. Just connect it to the AC and go. The silverbase is like the CPP and the CPE a rotation processor which assure good even development with a minimum of chemicals. Especially saving developer is cost saving and last but not least good for the environment.

Conclusions

The Jobo SilverBase is a lovely small B&W filmprocessor. Developing a film at the kitchen table is a joy with this handy quick machine. Even development results without bromide errors will be achieved. Using the 2500 tank makes it possible to develop up to 6 4x5 plansheets in only 260ml developer!

Cost efficient and saving nature!
