The Seal 5298H Vacuum Dry Mount Press is another leap forward for the Seal/Bienfang company. As the leading company for photo finishing and mounting, Seal has produced a dry mount press that also pre-dries your board, thereby saving time. This press can handle big jobs and handles multiple pieces at the same time.

Bienfang Vacuum Presses are designed to automatically control the four main variables of mounting: moisture, pressure temperature and time. This assures consistent results. There are two simple ways to operate the Vacuum Press: by setting each control individually or by using convenient programmed settings. Some settings are preset at the factory but you can also set your own programs for procedures you conduct repeatedly.

Platen temperature is maintained at +/- 2° F of the set temperature. Manufacturer's warranty covers on-site service only.

Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. Will a d850 with a 500mm pf fit in the 80l

A: Yes, the Nikon D850 DSLR Camera and the Nikon AF-S NIKKOR 500mm f/5.6E PF ED VR Lens may be stored inside the Ruggard EDC-FP90L Electronic Dry Cabinet with Fingerprint Lock (90L) and the Ruggard EDC-80L Electronic Dry Cabinet (80L), B&H # RUEDC80L.

Q: 2. Does anyone have the 50L and a Sony 200-600? It seems like it may fit diagonally, but possibly without the hood.

A: Yes the Ruggard EDC-50L Electronic Dry Cabinet (Black, 50L) will fit the Sony 200-600mm lens if the lens it positioned diagonally on the shelf.

Q: 3. Is there a way to calibrate the humidity and/or temperature settings on the display? I have used a digital thermometer humidity gauge and an alcohol thermometer to check both: the humidity setting appears to be -5% off (35% instead of 40%, the recommended setting for lenses) and the temp is +3 F off. Too much of a +/- error for my taste.

A: I did not see any calibration instructions in the manual. The temperature in my house is 76 degrees on my thermostat and a digital thermometer. The display on my cabinet says 78 degrees and I have the AC vent closed to that room so I would expect a 2 degree difference. I have my cabinet set at 35% humidity. I live in Minnesota so it's not like our weather is wet like in Florida or dry as in Arizona. However, over the last week we had dewpoints in the high 70's and temps in the 94+ range so it's been tropical to say the least. I use my cabinet for humidity control and for storage as a clean room and only take out the gear I need rather than keeping everything in my bag. If you are sure your testing devices are accurate you can simply make the conversion and set the cabinet accordingly. The price is right for this cabinet.

Q: 4. Can you fit a Nikon 600mm f4 in this cabinet? Just the lens, no lens hood.

A: The Nikon 600mm f4 is 6.5 in. (166 mm) x 17.5 in. (445 mm) and this cabinet is 17.7 x 12.9 x 21.1 . So yes, but just barely. Either you'd have to leave out the shelf tray so you can stand the lens upright, or you'd have have to dedicate a whole level to just the lens.

Q: 5. 90L cabinet, the photos show 3 shelves but the description says 2 shelves. Which is it?It's only 2 can another be purchased from Ruggard? Thanks

A: Yes. The following unit has 3 shelves to offer its end-user.

Q: 6. If you open the cabinet in a humid environment, does the sudden change in moisture create precipitation on your equipment?

A: Not a problem. I live near Seattle, it is raining and my weather app says the humidity is 96%. When you open the door the humidity in the cabinet doesnt immediately jump from 31 to 96%. In fact, I just tried it and it and it took nearly a minute to rise 2%. If I took a camera out of the cabinet and walked outside different story.
