    Hi all,


    Saw this machine this morning, and found it quite interesting, but not certain about the use.

    Was it used to heat up and develop photos? Or was it used as a press of sorts?



    Thanks in advance!

    Maybe a laminator?

    Think I may have found it, or something similar.


    Seems my initial suspicion of it being used for photos may have been correct (must have seen something like it in a book at some point, and a part of me remembered...)

    Still don't really know how it works ;-)

    "Glanspers" translates as "Gloss Press" so I would suspect it performs some function in the finishing process - smoothes the surface of glossy photo prints?

    Seems it was used to add the "gloss".


    Got this in reply to my email to the cameramuseum:

    Sorry, don't know why the reply didn't copy. Here it is:

    Hello Alta,



    This was used to make prints glossy after developing.



    With kind regards,

    Bob Noomen
