[Author Prev] [Author Next] [Thread Prev] [Thread Next] [Author Index] [Topic Index] [Home] [Search]I had a Nova processor for 8X10 color prints. It was convenient and worked without any problems. I sold it for two reasons; I wanted to print larger sizes and I discovered Tetenal Mono PK ambient temperature color (RA-4) chemistry. I do prints up to 20 X 24 at any room temperature with the Mono PK and a second hand Ciba roller motor and drums. I occasionally do 11X14 and larger b&w prints in the drums too when I have only a few to print and don't want to set up the trays. The only "drawback" to the Nova system is that you must work in total darkness for a few minutes and hand agitate the prints up and down with a clothespin-like clamp. Jobo markets the Novas in the USA. Their catalogue and website has a lot of information about Nova and other systems. BTW, you can do color prints in trays too in total darkness.
