Universal and Modular: with just one tank you can develop both 120 and 135 formats, simply changing the dedicated module Compact and Portatile: easily portable in bags and any kind of backpacks thanks to its dimensions Easy and quick: you can load and develop films without needing to be in the dark, with a simple, intuitive process Versatile e Professional: perfect for those who are starting to develop on their own, but also useful to meet the needs of semi pros and professionals thanks to the different processes it allows
The included 135 Module has a designed space in which you have to insert and lock the 35mm roll. The film gets then clipped and, after closing the lid, rotating the external knob it's automatically loaded in the internal reel. Once the loading is done, a blade cuts the final part of the film and you're ready to start developing.
AGITATION DURING DEVELOPMENT PROCESS
You can choose to use continuous agitation (recommended) or intermittent one. The tank can be filled up to half of its capacity (290ml) if you decide to proceed with a continuous agitation, or you can completely fill the tank (490ml) if you choose to have an intermittent agitation. You can also experiment with other agitation modalities. Once the liquids are poured in the tank, you can proceed with the agitation rotating the external knob or crank, that will rotate the internal reel. A correct agitation is pivotal to get homogenous results.
DESIGN
LAB-BOX is an ars-imago project. Design and prototipe have been curated in Rome, Italy. Following a careful test and revision process, we could optimize the LAB-BOX final dimensions, simplifying the tank's structure as much as we could, so that a resistant yet easy to use product could be created. Our specialized team has worked on technical projects for months creating many 3D models and prototypes thanks to modern technologies.
These films can't be loaded in the LAB-BOX 120 Module and can be difficult to be clipped in the LAB-BOX 135 Module:
