I saw similar one once I think. What switches does it use?

For those wondering, this is a controller for a Noritsu commercial printer for printing photos. You use this keyboard to perform colour corrections on the photos before printing. You use the arrow keys to select a photo, and then YMCD (Yellow, Magenta, Cyan, Density) to select the parameter to adjust, and then the -, N (Neutral), + keys to make adjustments. It's extremely fast and efficient once you know what you're doing. The screen displays 6 images at a time, and a fast person would spend less than one second on each image. You need that kind of efficiency when you're dealing with thousands of photos.

I hadn't gotten into the keeb hobby yet when I was using those, so I'm not sure what kind of switches they were. I work in a different part of the store now but I might pop into the lab and have a look when I get a chance.

At a guess, I'd say that's a colour C41 processing control keyboard. I used to use something similar back in the day.

Someone needs to swap that D key out for an A key.

My first "real job" was working in a photo lab with Noritsu printers. We manually adjusted all photos. Some wedding jobs we would have over 1,000 prints. Thankfully most of those photographers had our colour profiles installed, so for the most part it was just adjusting density.

I used to manage photo labs. Fuji machines were great, but my true love was the Noritsu machines I started on. They were absolute tanks and always put out a good print.

You should see the keyboards that US Postal Service keyers use at the Remote Coding Center in Utah.

Tom Scott has a great video on it.

I’ve seen a couple of these on eBay before. Pretty sure these were either Alps/clone or Fujitsu Leaf springs in a late generation.

I know a lot of the big mail-in labs used unified machines, but all the minilab units I saw were separated. It makes more sense for the 1-hour workflow and, for one indie lab I saw, it allowed them to have a separate processor for E-6, which they got a lot of from a local photography group.

FixedFront t1_j14bo64 wrote

Replying to QWERKey-UK (#995,787)

Well, as opposed to what many minilab operators do with slide film intended for prints instead of slides, which is to just run it through the C-41 processor and damn the chemical consequences. The indie lab I referenced ran through so much Kodachrome that it was worth it for them to buy a dedicated unit. Meant they could also take on mail-in orders from other regional indie labs with quicker turnaround than the big processing houses.

If you run C41 film through E6, you're cross processing, and that would look awful unless you shot specifically for it, and then printed accordingly. I doubt many minilabs would have done this, as it also ruins your chemistry pretty quickly.

Kodachrome was not E6... it was K14, a totally different process.

FixedFront t1_j14eddv wrote

Replying to QWERKey-UK (#995,947)

Yes, my bad. Forgot Ektachrome was the E-6 name. It's been nearly 15 years, cut a girl some slack. :) Generally, anyone using slide film of any chemistry knows that if they bring it to a 1-hour lab they're getting C-41. Whether they shoot for it is their business. I never ran slide film through my machines because I was a testing nut (and got one district photo supervisor pissed at me for that refusal), but a lot of the old heads would do it for customers on the expectation that doing it a few times a year wouldn't hurt things too badly at the rate they changed chemicals.

For a photographer shooting digital, if they installed our color profiles on a computer with a calibrated monitor, the print output would more closely match what they see on their screen. It's just a way to try to eliminate some variance between display and output since every screen and every printer is different.
