Jobo Expert Tanks

Post by Valerio Trigari » Wed Sep 05, 2012 9:23 am Etc/GMT-1+01:00

Hello Everyone!

I know some of you use the Jobo Expert tanks and I was wondering if they can be used only in association with a processor, like the CPP2 or the new CPP3. Can I actually use them as standard inversion tanks, with manual processing? They are a bit pricey, but if they produce a more uniform development, I'd be happy to the premium for them.

Cheers,

Val

They are not really practical for inversion processing but can be rolled on a worktop or using a Jobo 1509 manual roller base. I used a manual base before I bought my Simmard motor base.

Hi Adrian,

thank you for your reply. I thought about the rolling base as well, so I'll probably get that, if and when I'll buy the expert drums.

Regards,
