hi

I just developed 4 sheets of adox chs 100 and they came out green where they should be clear/gray
I pre soaked for 1 min then used rodinal 1-25 for 6min then stop for 1 min fix for 5 and then hypo and wash


what am I doing wrong ?
is there anyway of saving these negs

thanks

I'd suggest re-washing first....and possibly increasing the presoak time on future sheets...

If just rewashing doesn't do it, try rewetting then refixing...

Curious as to your wash time?

Thanks,
Dan

Assuming that the negatives were fully fixed after 5 min.in fresh fixer, soak them in a hypo clearing agent such as Permawash, Orbit Bath, etc. for 2-3 min.

Then wash in running water for 20-30 minutes.

Finally, rinse the negatives in a wetting agent bath for a few minutes and hang them to dry.

They should then dry clear.

Are the green parts transparent? If they are opaque the negs haven't been fixed enough.
Procedure would then be to re-fix in fresh fixer, 2x the clearing time, and finish processing as normal... hypo-clear, wash, rinse, dry.
