[LargeFormat] A better way

[Jim Brick]

I have and use a JOBO ATL-2400 which, in my estimation, is the best JOBO 
has to offer. I bought mine as a demo (was demo'ed once) at a substantial 
discount. This machine will process any kind and size film. Yes, even 20x24 
film as you can process film in the print drums. If you don't think you 
need the processor for prints, an ATL-2300 would work just as well. If you 
are going to use it for prints, the ATL-2400 is hand down the BEST JOBO 
available. I could fill a book extolling its virtues.

There should be lots of used JOBO's available now that darkrooms are giving 
way to Photoshop.
