Manufacturer's designation: PTP116
The Paterson Super System 4 (116) development tank can be used for both color and black and white film. Tanks are made of acetate resin. This material is exceptionally resistant to photographic solutions and can withstand temperatures up to 100 °C.
The Paterson spool can be adjusted for three sizes: for cine film (135), for "small" roll film (126/127) and for "classic" roll film (120).
To adjust the spool to the desired width according to the type of film: you grasp the "locked" spool in both hands and, while holding the first spool piece firmly with your left hand, rotate the second spool piece clockwise with your right hand until you hear a click. At that moment the spool is unlocked and the relative position of the two spool parts can be selected according to the width of the film material. The reverse movement will lock the spool again.
Winding the film material: The edges of the film should first be bevelled by trimming. The film is then inserted into the spool. By reciprocally moving the spool (alternating back and forth, zigzag style) and moving the film, you will achieve a full winding of the film.
Note: For optimum results, it is recommended to wind the film in a darkened room.
