[A] Can someone tell me, if one can use everyday elastic bands instead of sugested hair bands.
Has anyone used the Taco Method useing a Jobo processor.?
Thank you. :cool:
 
I dev tacos in a standard patterson tank ( don't know about jobo, sorry!) with ordinary elastic bands, HOWEVER on one occasion I was left with a temporary mark on the negative when using green ones which took some gentle rubbing ( with my finger under running water) to remove.

No damage caused as the band didn't touch the emulsion but i've purposely avoided colour bands since.
 
Thank you Asha, will give ordinary bands a go, did read to move the bands a little following the first wash after the fix stage.
 
Which type of band is the least of my worries when using the taco method.

The time before last when developing sheet film I managed to put one taco over the central spindle and one over the top of another. Bearing in mind that I was only developing four sheets I managed to ruin three all in one go!
 
David I am still at the practice loading stage, but no problem loading with eyes closed or in the changing bag, big test will come when I do it for real. Need to get scanner sorted then I shall be all set to go. Any sugestions for a suitable scanner anyone?
