Want to Buy WTB: Tabletop RA4 Print Processor (e.g., Dursto Printo, Fujimoto CP-31, Thermaphot)

jbmia · Feb 9, 2015

Have an old tabletop processor you're not using? I'm just getting started printing RA4 prints and am currently in the market for a tabletop print processor. I'm willing to consider any model, but I'm most familiar with the Thermaphot range, the Fujimoto CP-31, and the Durst Printo. Willing to pay a fair price for a good working machine. Thanks for your consideration!

I have a Durst RCP20 processor I could part with, but I suspect the shipping from Chicago area to S FL would be high. I modified the gearing to match RA4 times, so it should be good to go. I have not used it in a couple of years, so I would need to test it if you're interested.

Thanks,

Ken

Ken . If it is available, I might be interested. I am just north of Chicago, in Kenosha area. How much do you want? Or anything you might trade for it?

It's spoken for... Ken just posted the pics for me to view here. We've making arrangements via PM.

I was mainly interested in the gear changes to convert it to the RA4 process. I had the info somewhere & lost it, probably still out on the www somewhere. TY

No problem sir. Probably should have updated the thread any away.

Hi Marc,

Do you still have that processor up for grabs? I'm interested. Where are you located?

Anyone looking to sell in 2020?

I would like to find a baby, 10 inch wide unit, just 2 bath. I picked up a nice roll easel, need a roller processor.

You are in luck. My Thermaphot is available (8" wide). I wasn't really going to sell it, but I just saw your interest, so I thought I'd find it a new home.

Since there are two of you who posted recently, I thought I'd mention there is a Durst RCP20 on german ebay at the moment. As I mentioned in my classified, the Durst has 3 baths instead of 2 on the Thermophot.

Technically the RCP20 is designed for an old color process, RCP, which isn't RA4. The Thermophot is designed for RA4 out of the box and has a speed switch to use a slower process. However you can google it, and find plans to convert an RCP20 to operate at RA4. I know this because I also have an RCP20 and I've begun this conversion. I hit a snag that gear with the correct teeth needed is not available from McMaster Carr, so I think I need to design and 3D print the proper gear.

Many RCP20s that are out there have already undergone this conversion, but I'm not sure if the one on german ebay has or not.
