Your personal film developing assistant.
Endlessly Scalable
With its efficient design, the CR1 effortlessly develops over 15 rolls of film at a time. That's less time spent developing, and more time spent making pictures.
Small and Mighty
At 1/10th the size of a traditional rotary processor, the CR1 was designed with space efficiency in mind. It easily gets out of your way when not in use.
Powerfully Engineered
Using thick anti-slip wheels, and a powerful motor rated at over 10x the torque of a regular film processor, the CR1 easily handles film tanks filled with up to 2L of chemistry.
Effortlessly Clean
Accidents happens. That's why the CR1 is 95% sealed off from water. Its waterproof wet side is easily rinsed under a tap, making clean up effortless.

Designed using carefully sourced, premium components, widely used across multiple industries, you’ll never need to worry about proprietary parts becoming obsolete.
The CR1 will never become unserviceable due to age.
