The present invention provides for a processor or processing arrangement which includes a replenishment system that meters or dispenses an amount of replenishment solution in direct relation to an amount of photosensitive media that passes through the processor or processing arrangement. The replenishment system includes a dispensing chamber and a cam roller that is operationally associated with a conveying roller. The cam roller engages a valve on the dispensing chamber. When the valve is moved to an open position in relation to a rotation of the cam roller, an amount of processing solution is metered out of the chamber in an amount related to the amount of rotation of the conveying roller. With this arrangement, the amount of replenishment solution that is dispensed is based on the amount or size of photosensitive material being conveyed along the processing channel, and more particularly, the length of the photosensitive material. That is, a longer piece of photosensitive material will get more replenishment, while a shorter piece of photosensitive material will get less replenishment.
