Why developing with AGO is super easy
Active Time-Compensation
Just get the chemical temperature into the range for the start of your development and AGO will take it from there.
AGO monitors your chemical temperature and compensates development time for any temperature drop or increase, ensuring perfect negatives with every development.
Automatic Agitation
You maintain control of agitation type, speed, and interval—whether it’s stick or rotational agitation. Keep in mind that in stick agitation, the time compensation will not work. A timely alarm lets you know when it’s time to take action and change the chemicals or admire the results.
Rotary processing
With horizontal rotational agitation, you can save from 40% to 60% on chemicals depending on your use case and the size of the Paterson tank you decide to use.
Compatibility
AGO is compatible with all sizes of Paterson Super System 4 tanks. Develop from just one roll of film up to eight rolls at once. You can use your old Paterson tank with AGO, provided you have an AGO funnel.
Reels for large format and printing
Use our large format reels to develop your 4×5, 5×7, or 8×10 film, or make RA-4 and B&W prints in the comfort of your own home.
Custom programs
You can easily create your own programs for AGO on your computer or phone, or simply change any program to fit your liking.
