In this video i'll make final corrections for the print and also try to adjust Philips PCA color analyser and unfortunatly i have problems with it again.
I've just bought one of this.. but sincerely I'm not able to understand if it is in working conditions or if it is break.
Yep, it's quit tricky and some times broken
Well I'm receiving my Philips PCA 060 next week. I hope mine works OK ahah.
I've made a few prints just by eye so far and I'm pretty happy with the results. But it takes so much time and test strips, I hope the color analyser helps with that.
Trying to get my hand on a test printer as I feel it will work fine for me.
Good luck, I think it's mostly depends on the condition of the thing and how it was stored 👍
Thank you for this.
Hello Alek! Thanks foe your videos, I have buy everything for color dev. In my darkroom but didn’t try yer bc i wanted a color analiser first, I get one (the only color analiser i found in Argentina) and it turns out it doesn’t work 😅 well I don’t really know if it works or not, its a JoboMatic 4020 and the machine seems to work bc all the lights go on but when I attach the measuring probe into the enlarging lens, nothing happens, the Y M or C light in some point has to go out while I move the knobs but nothing happens, the machine seems to be all good but Idk what can be the problem. I see that there is a lot of fongus in the glass of the measuring prob, maybe that’s has the problem that I don’t get any readings? If you know something about this type of analiser it will be very helpful for me since I didn’t find anything on internet about it and since im from Argentina, I didn’t see any other analiser here for sell.
Wow, thx for kind words. If you see fungus or something like that it means probably it’s dead, so this is kinda why o work on the color calibrator 🤔 My suggestion for now just stick with the test printint
@@NordicLab thank you so much! Yes, I supposed. I will starting doing test prints then. Thank you for all the videos you shared, it was very helpful for me
I have bought a lici colorstar tricolor analyzer, i really enjoy using it. The linear potentiometers needed some cleaning but after that worked great. It does all colours in a single measurement so its quite intuitive to use. Biggest problem i currently have is that small black and white prints i cant get the timer to go high enough but thats probably easy to calibrate for if i figure out its manual. Have only printed with it once now!
Thx, I'll look up for it!
I bought a Philips PCA 060 on eBay a few weeks ago, tried it out. It didn't really work too well, seems like on the yellow channel the motor in the sensor wouldn't work. I noticed the sensor was super erratic when you moved it. Took the sensor apart, the wires from the cable to it are super thin so I cut the cable completely off and very carefully completely rewired it. To do that means taking it completely apart, there are quite a few different colored wires so make sure to take pics of where what wire goes where before removing them. I used braided copper ribbon to soak up the old solder. Next, there is a color wheel with a red, green, and blue filter, the blue filter was hazed (intentionally?) To remove the circuit board you have to remove that wheel first which involves pulling a pin out of the center of the color filter gear with needle nose pliers. The blue filter was hazed on both sides so I cleaned it off (not sure if the haze was meant to be there but I cleaned it off regardless). Put it all back together and now the thing works pretty well. Don't do this unless you are handy with a soldering iron and know how to remove old solder. I was ready to junk the thing but thought I'd give it a rewire and that did work for me, but it would be quite easy to screw up so be careful and you may have success.
Already done all of it in the video 😂, it worked for like half year, but now I have new problem's with it
