What temperature are you running the chemistry at? It looks like the emulsion is being damaged. Maybe HP5 has a softer emulsion? Are you using a fixer with harder in it?

What do you need exactly - SP3000 120 automatic film carrier ( NC120AY ) , or manual film carrier ( MFC10AY ) to scan various films. To scan 120 films carrier is not enough. Also need other diffusion box ( 120 diffusion box DF-BOX 120, 899C21556A0 ) .

Hello. Please send me it to printphoto24@gmail.com . Thank you.

38 Hi, my email is albo153@libero.it

Hello, i'm looking for a 120 carrier for sp3000 with masks and light. I only have for 135 and i would like to start with 120 fiilm Preferrably inside EU

Hello, I have an issue with my v30 black and white converted machine. It's not every time, but every so often our machine will leave what we think are roller marks and lots of debris on the negative. It does not happen with other film stocks at all. Any advice for addressing this issue?

Hello, Please I have a problem with my Noritsu Green II machine, one of the heads almost does not work after the machine has remained at rest for a long time, I tried to clean the heads via the software without result, any advice please?!?

Thanks for replying.

Hi, good morning. I ended up replacing the M9 motor; it had burned out, causing a short circuit in the wiring because the cables weren't routed correctly, which also damaged the 24V 10A power supply. I replaced the cable, motor, and power supply, and it hasn't given me any trouble since. Regards.

Hello..Reinaldo which components did You change finally?? Thanks i'm advance

Hi, I believe you bought this machine from us. Feel free to contact us directly — we’ll be happy to help. Just give Mirek a call through www.minilabexpert.com. He knows these machines very well.

Thanks Dave S, really helpful.

The APS lab ID in theory should be unique to the lab that printed it. I think Kodak used to issue them to the lab, they may have possibly had a record of them at some point. However, the machine will allow you to input any 5 character ID you like, so there is no guarantee it was ever a registered lab ID.

Fanstastic, thank you. One last question; if that is the lab ID, is it unique to a particular location and machine?.. and if so, and clues as to how it might be located?

I’m having trouble with the morning paper test on Fujifilm 15.2 Glossy paper. After a few attempts, the machine is rejecting the tests. The same thing happens with other paper types, and the "Initialize" button doesn't help. The machine is an LP5700R with an AD300 densitometer. I’ve had the machine for two months, and everything was fine until now.

I agree with this 100%, you helped jog my memory! 00/MAY/31 could be either the date the photo was taken (most likely) or the date it was printed. it will be 31st May 2000 728-910 will be the film ID number for that particular APS film. Each APS film had an ID number from the film manufacturer (Kodak, Fuji Etc) Most likely frame No.9 The KBW64 will likely be the LAB ID number for the lab that printed the film. There originally would have been an index print, that showed an image of all the photos on the film roll.

Hi friends, wondering if anyone is forgoing the stabilizer in their Noritsu V30. Anyone skipping it, and if so, what are you running in those baths instead?

Thanks , very helpful, is this based on a known set of codes for different film types &/or formats?

Thanks Dave S I have asked for a scan of the reverse of the print; it is locked away as evidence at the moment but hoping to come back with something

currently what software version you have installed Ez Controller ? QSS-Printer ? Profile ? Do you have installed old version or new versions? if you have new versions its possible you have bad plate calibration or head colorimeter damaged.

ID728-910 <9> I think this is APS film cartridge number and negative number 9 If print is old, like APS film is, so 00 would be 2000?

We use FujiFilm Digital RA Pro P1-R Developer Replenisher. We used starter when we filled the machine initially, is there another step we should take to season the dev?

Our Lab is Noritsu - We have QSS-3701

Yeah. I know that. But without the stop bath I had this problem and it fixed it. So Fuji CN16MV Bleach isnt working as good as a stop bath. Anyways, changing it didn't fix it so It may be something to do with the cn16mv developer. No, I didn't process remjet or souped film and this happened since the first rolls I ran through the V30 with fresh cn16mv chemistry. Streaks dont look as if they come from rollers or something like that... but maybe, i don't know. Running out of ideas. Did check circulation and its working good.

I would suggest taking a photo of the backprint markings, it will be easier for someone who had that machine type to identify it from an image.
