- I have done quite a lot of Cibachrome printing with my little CPE-2,
- and it has been mostly pretty succesful, even with the single (high)
- speed of rotation. I stick pretty closely to Ilford's recommended times
- and quantities; it seems to work.
-
- As Barry suggests, the resulting contrast seems a bit higher than
- usual, which can certainly be a pain (don't get me started on
- Cibachrome and high contrast...); on the other hand, I haven't noticed
- any unusual problems with uneven development, streaking, bad colour
- shifts, etc - but you need to be very careful (as always) with getting
- the tube level (not quite the same thing, unfortunately, as getting
- the CPE level, but that's another frustrating story of poor
- engineering...).
-
- I'd say certainly give it a try - it worked for me....
