Jobo CPE2 VS CPP2

I always shielded the timer the same way- a piece of black cardboard between it and the enlarger base to avoid fogging.

i'll try that, thanks for the tip

My timer sits on the table, about 15cm lower than the baseboard, and with a piece of black card taped to the top side of the front of the timer I just tilt the card up out of the way to adjust the timer. I suppose a non-flat timer front panel would mean that you make a sort of box to cover the panel instead of using just a flat card. Basically the same method as described above by several people, so probably it works

I beliwve the CPP has a stronger motor,which was a weak point with the CPE and causedthe unit's premature death.

CPEs are designed for 4 chemical processes like c41 and /or b&w. Cpps are set up for 6 chemical processes like E6.....just to begin with. The task at hand will dictate the necessary tools.

I upgraded from a CPE2 to CPP2. CPP2 acts like a PRO machine ;-) and can handle the Expert Drum series (e.g. for 4x5 or larger). No regret since if you look at the right places, they are "dirt cheap".
