Hi

I'm a LA based photographer and finally signing up because I saw a Jobo Printlab 3503 and I need to make 20 post to DM them or figure out how to get access to reply in that classified post lol. I have always lurked on here and I look forward to using the forums more for some advice and good conversation.

At the moment I am looking to build a darkroom at home to do RA4 prints. Looking to learn more about differences in enlargers and possible options and also routes to go for processing prints. After some exploring of options even Colex processor machine I think the move for home at the moment may be drums in a Jobo CPP2 lift setup and just print slower when I'm printing at home (and use community lab for larger batch printing days)

I am still eyeing a Fijimoto CP-31 but since I still get a wet print I'm wondering if its worth that amount of money and would also potentially be something that could fail or become a hassle fixing and maintaining. So maybe a drum system wouldn't be too much of a different hassle if I'm still ending up with wet prints to squeegee and dry.

I've now just discovered the Jobo Printlab 3503 which seems like a cool machine and gives you dry to dry prints. Anyways looking forward to learning from the knowledge here and chatting with everyone.
