INTRODUCTION
Congratulations! You have purchased the state
of the art in photographic enlargers. The ZBE Starlite
55 Colorhead is designed to be a rugged machine, simple
and elegant in design, yet sophisticated enough to facilitate
high-volume, high-quality printing in today's professional
photolab.
The Starlite 55 Colorhead can be used in virtually
any photographic printing environment. The Starlite
uses printing values which are compatible with most
video analyzers, and may be aligned to print perfectly
with an analyzer’s output color balance numbers.
It also supports printing with variable-contrast black
and white media.
All of these features are controlled using a single,
easy-to-learn keypad, which is backlit for use in total
darkness. There’s no more reaching up in the dark
to change a filtration setting. Operation of the Starlite
is just a matter of telling the machine what to do by
pressing a few buttons.
We at ZBE thank you for choosing the best in modern
photographic light sources.
GENERAL
SPECIFICATIONS
The Starlite 55 Colorhead is designed to be a high-volume,
high-speed colorhead for custom printing. As such, it
is quite powerful, with about a thousand watts of lamp
power under its control. This, as well as the other
items listed below, should be considered when installing
the Starlite on any particular enlarger chassis.

220 v units: Three ELH 115 v 300 w enlarging lamps
Lamp Power:
110 v units: 1080 w
220 v units: 900 w
Lamp Control:
Internal voltage stabilizer
Filtration Type:
Subtractive filtration using glass dichroic rotary
shutter for exposure time control
Filtration Calibration:
Standard color-correction (CC) units
( 30 CC’s = 1 f-stop )
Filtration Range:

5 f-stops of neutral-density range
Exposure Time Range:
1 second to 999.9 seconds, in increments of 0.1 second
Size of Light Output Area (Diffuser):
5-1/2" square (13.9 cm square)
