Jobo SilverBase

With the SilveBase, JOBO now has the perfect product for all those who have little space, usually develop B&W films and only have a tight budget.

Many years ago, JOBO already had a small processor without water jacket in its product range. At that time the device was called ColorBase. Developing your own black-and-white film in rotary processing has not been as easy and cheap as it is now with the JOBO SilverBase for a long time. The compact device impresses with its simple design and the JOBO-typical elements. The magnetically coupled tanks are rotated in either direction. Changing the direction of rotation ensures that the entire surface of the film is developed particularly well and at the same time avoids the formation of bromide traces.

Since the JOBO SilverBase does not have a water jacket, it is very compact and economical. Since black and white development usually takes place at room temperature, the JOBO SilverBase is perfectly suited for this. If you do not care about perfect temperature control, you can also use SilverBase for color development of course. The development of film in rotary processing uses only half as much chemicals as tilt development and leads to absolutely reproducible and constant results due to the constant agitation. Just 120 ml of developer is required per film.

All tanks from the 1500シリーズ (1510,1520,1540) can be coupled to the JOBO Silverbase, as well as the 2520マルチタンク 2 tank from the 2500 series. This means that not only 35mm and 120 films can be developed in the JOBO Silverbase, but also 4x5" sheet films with the 2509N reel in the tank 2520.

This item is the processor only. No tank and magnet for tank included.
