    Leaving Film in Tubes Through Fixing

    Thanks, I guess I should have explained that "fixing" as such wasn't the only consideration, clearing of the film was another. I attended two of Phil's workshops and if he says to use trays in his book he probably said it in the workshops as well, so I guess that's why I do it. Based on everything said here on balance I think I'll continue using the trays even though it makes keeping track of the negatives more difficult. Thanks again.

    Before you criticize someone, walk a mile in their shoes. That way when you do criticize them you'll be
    a mile away and you'll have their shoes.

    Leaving Film in Tubes Through Fixing

    I use a piece of fiberglas window screen cut to the size of the negative and inserted on the non-emulsion side of the negative, between the negative and the tube. That seems to help get the liquids to that side of the film. I've never noticed any trouble getting the negatives to clear.

    Leaving Film in Tubes Through Fixing

    Oren + Geary: When you wash in the Jobo, do you fill and empty the water by hand on some regular basis - or do you have some kind of setup to introduce and drain the water ?

    Ken -

    I use the Jobo 3005 and 3006 on a CPA-2 processor with the Jobo Lift accessory, which allows processing solutions to be poured in and emptied without removing the drum or stopping the motor. You can use as many rounds of wash water as you think necessary before stopping the processor and removing the film for final wetting agent in a tray and hanging it up to dry.
