PhotoTherm Description: The SK-4 automatic processor accurately tempers each solution, one at a time. This design breakthrough allows B/W processing at 75degrees farenheit and them immediately afterwards slide or color negative processing at 100 degrees. Tempered water is NOT needed. long warm-ups are NOT required. All the solution bottles are constantly connected. The operator just selects the process. The unit pumps the proper chemical from any of the 18 reservior containers, quickly heats the small volume needed to the correct temperature and starts processing. As it processes one solution it prepares the next solution. At the end of the process cycle it automatically flushes itself clean, preparing itself for the next process. The SK-4 is compact (26" wide by 14 " high by 16 " deep). The process drum is removeable for loading in a dark box or bag (eliminating the need for a darkroom).The SK-4 can process 4 rolls of 35mm, 2 rolls of 120/220, 4 sheets of 4x5, or 9 disc films at one time. Two chemicals can be automatically saved from each process for silver recovery or reuse. Fresh developer is used for quality. The standard processes are pre-programmed, but the developer time can be easily changed when desired. The SK-4 protects the film from possible operator errors. It has an interactive computerized display that prompts and informs the operator what it is doing. Possible operator errors are also minimized because chemical lines do not have to be switched nor must volumes of solutions be measured. Place a Bid!
