AGO Film Processor – Compact, Smart, and Efficient Film Development
The AGO Film Processor is the first film processor to use time compensation instead of temperature regulation, ensuring consistent results without the need for constant monitoring. Develop black & white, C-41, E-6, ECN-2, and even RA-4 color prints at home or in small labs with ease.
Why Choose AGO?
✅ Time Compensation Technology – No need to maintain exact chemical temperatures; AGO automatically adjusts development times based on real-time temperature monitoring.
✅ Automatic Agitation – Say goodbye to manual agitation. AGO takes care of the process while you focus on other things. A timely alarm lets you step away from developing and be back at the right moment.
✅ Up to 60% Less Chemical Waste – Rotary-style agitation reduces chemical use compared to traditional inversion methods.
✅ Wi-Fi Connectivity & Custom Programs – Modify, create, or download new development programs for full control over your process.
✅ Compact & Portable – The smallest film processor on the market with a USB-C rechargeable battery, lasting up to 5 hours of continuous development.

Automatic Agitation & Timely Alarm
With AGO’s automatic agitation, there’s no need to manually invert your tank or stand by it for precise agitation intervals. The processor handles agitation for you, ensuring consistent chemical flow and even development throughout the process. You can choose between rotary or vertical stick agitation, with adjustable speed and intervals to match your preferred developing style. Plus, AGO’s timely alarm system keeps you on track by alerting you when it’s time to change chemicals, rinse, or complete the process—allowing you to step away and focus on other tasks without worrying about missing a crucial step. (In vertical stick agitation the time compensation function is disabled)
Time Compensation for Precise Development
Instead of relying on strict temperature control, AGO uses a time compensation algorithm to automatically adjust the development time based on real-time chemical temperature readings. This means you don’t need to maintain exact heat levels throughout the process—just bring your chemicals to the recommended starting range, and AGO takes care of the rest. By continuously monitoring temperature fluctuations and compensating accordingly, AGO ensures that your negatives come out perfectly developed every time, no matter the slight variations in your setup.


Rotary Processing & Chemical Savings
AGO’s rotary agitation method allows for a more efficient use of chemicals compared to traditional inversion or vertical processing. By gently rotating the tank, AGO ensures even chemical coverage while significantly reducing waste. This method can save up to 60% on chemical usage, making film developing not only more cost-effective but also more environmentally friendly. Additionally, rotary processing helps minimize oxidation and prolongs the usability of your chemicals, ensuring consistent results while reducing overall consumption.
