Yea, I was very confused about that too as I've heard nothing but positive things about the expert drums.

"4. Don't bother with the 4x5 drum insert that has separate chambers for the sheets (like a revolver's chambers), it is known not to give optimal development."
I Know this doesn't apply to you since you've got the wrong machine but the above bullshit is simply not true.
I wouldn't trust anything this person says regarding jobo processing.

It appears I am mistaken, although I have read numerous accounts of the 2509 reels (even admitted by jobo) giving increased density on the edges of film.
As for "not having the right machine" I'm not sure what you're talking about, wildbill, as far as I know the CPP2 can handle any and all drums, expert or otherwise.
I apologize for any confusion, I was simply relaying what I have read on LFPF and photo.net.
No need to say that my knowledge of my own processor is completely invalid.

I apologize for any confusion, I was simply relaying what I have read on LFPF and photo.net in regards to issues with 4x5" roller processing.

No, the 2509 reels do have issues sometimes, they are nothing to do with Expert Dums which are really like a revolver with a set of tubes encased in a cylinder.
Stone, The processor you have is as stated a CPE, the tempering bath that accompanied it is called a TPE, they were later merged to become the CPE2.
I have a TPE but use it for my 35mm and Roll Film stand and semi stand processing as the film tank sits in the waterbath and temperature is maintained over the development time.
I also have a CPE2 which I no longer use and would have been ideal for you but for two exceptions, 1) it is 240 volt and 2) it is in the UK.
The reason I no longer use the CPE2 is that a year or so ago I was fortunate to find a late model CPP2 with lift in mint condition on ebay for 450 Euros delivered from Germany, I really lucked in with that and since buying it have no longer any need for the CPE2.
So, you need to keep a look out on ebay or Craigslist for either a TPE or a cheap CPE2.
Oh and to those that say they do not use a Jobo reel to process 2x 120 or 2x 20 exp of 35mm on a single reel, I do it all the time and it does not cause me any problems.
Everything is wrong? The only thing I was mistaken about was the 4x5 tank, man. IN MY EXPERIENCE doing double 120s is a bitch, and I don't bother, the only "heresay" was on the singular aforementioned point, which I already identified as an error on my part. I love my CPP2, I use it every time I'm in my darkroom.
I was saying you got both the processor model wrong, and the reels wrong, I was also teasing you and in fun not in angersorry that didn't come across properly.
Nah it's cool, I think there was some misunderstanding somewhere on page 3 where it was assumed that I was referring to your machine as a CPP2, when in fact I meant my own. I have the expert drums for my machine, and they are great...I use the big guy for 20x24" prints. Though there is a dearth of info floating around out there on the numerous and varied ways of doing sheet film processing with a jobo, both orthodox and unorthodox.
Is there such a thing as stand development in printing paper?
No, unless the paper I pulled directly from the developer, to the trash counts. For some reason, when I turn on the lights to look at those, they're completely black...
Without any agitation? I don't see how you'd get even development.....there have been times where I have left a print in the developer for upwards of 10-15 minutes to eke out that last bit of highlight detail.

I've never thought of doing it that way, Chris. Generally, to eke out the detail, I'll use some warmer developer and Q-Tips. Thanks for another option.
That Jobo processor is rated 50Hz.
