Very curios. My simultaneous post re: Jobos is to find a liner for the
print drums because, contrary to what Jobo says, there are problems with
the ridges blocking the solution from the base side of the film because the
ridges behave like little dams. Dammit. Perhaps I should do a longer
presoak or try the m,ethod of soaking, peeling film away from the drum and
continuing, but I see that as a real hassle.
