Hello everyone, i'm very new this forum.

I used use DKS1550 6years.

Now I replaced DKS 1670.What kind chemical should I use.

Please help.

Happy easter everyone.

you can use the same chem as the 1550.(I have both machines)  

I run Champion chem on both of them. (LOR developer 20 second cycle). If you are in the states/canada I can put  you in touch with the champion rep, he is a DSK tech and champion distributor.

why did you replace the 1550 ?  I was forced into the 1670 because I am waiting on a LCD for the 1550.

Strips have come out well in range every time for the most part. ( I use fuji strips so the LD rus high)

Thank you so much NESP.

I already ordered P-140194, P-140559.

Is the same rate and temp?

Did you fix your LCD?

please email me WGATEPHOTO@AOL.COM.

Yes pretty sure it's all the same chem. I just use the economy jugs. Both my machines feed from the same chem jugs everything is lined and automated.

LCD from the 1550 is still in a holding pattern. An old tech I know is fitting my pcb with a 800 ohm resistor and mailing it back to me. He told me he has seen this last up to 3 years if you turn the machine off at night.

This will have to be my solution for now. I have heard from 2 different techs 2 different things regarding LCD so I'm not sure what to believe. I feel the best coarse of action is to swap out the resistor and get more life out of my current LCD. I also have the 2 bad ones Kis sent me so I can swap the LCD out 2 more times with the 800ohms resistor. If all works out I should be good for a while.

In the meantime I have the 1670 I bought 3 weeks ago up and running so that is running and working well for me.

LCD issue is extremely frustrating since I paid 80,000 for that machine 6 years ago.

if you are looking for a clean running chemistry, try Axel Color.  I started selling & using Axel in my DKS 1500 & 1550 in 2005 until we replaced the KIS with Doli equipment.

http://www.axelcolorusa.com/kis/

For the DKS, you will need:

CDPRVLR610 - Axel Color Paper Developer Premier VLR

BFDKS610 - Axel Color Paper Bleach / Fix

STBRA44100 - Axel Color Paper Stabilizer

Depending on your usage, you can qualify for good discounts to get the price very low (in the USA)
