Hi Tony,
That's exactly how I do it with JOBO 2830 & 2840. If you want bigger print size, then 2850. It has all the advantages, which you stated. In a 2830 (4x 5x7" or 2x 8x10" per dev) you only need 100ml. For paper one does not even need a motor base, because the dev times are not long. I have 3 tiny bottles for 125ml. Make notes how many prints of which size I have done to know when to make fresh solutions again. Really easy and convenient. I use a set of trays for washing afterwards. Frank |

Well there is no doubt that the Nova solves all problems of space, increasing chemical longevity and general convenience. The heated ones even give you some leeway if your darkroom get a bit cold in winter
Just a pity that they weren't cheaper but clearly if you are into printing for the long term it is the way to go in my opinion. You can even get into RA4 in the winter Mike |

The thing to remember about slot processing is they are essentially just upright trays. You can still inspect the print by just lifting it out of the slot.
I used a slotties for years in my previous darkroom for B&W, colour neg and reversal colour work. And sometimes drums for reversal and colour work. But in my present darkroom, where I have more space and no longer do colour, I have gone back to trays for B&W. I prefer to tone uaing trays and lith print using trays, but I would be quite happy to use drums / slotties if I didn't have the space. Neil.

Just adding that this way is so useful for me, because I only find now and then 1-2 hours for one session in a small room.
