Hello all....
I would be interested in communicating with anybody using the combination of the new & improved 4X5 TMax 400 & TMax RC developer. I process my film in a Jobo tank & have noticed a light brown stain in the clear part of the film after development. It is on the emulsion side of the sheet & can be scratched off with my fingernail when dry. I have no idea where the stain is coming from & would like to tap into the collective genius of this group.
I called Kodak & talked with the B&W rep there & they have had no other reports of this happening. I have been processing film for over 30 years & have never seen this. Also, this has only happened since I switched to the new & improved TMax 400. (It is not the same problem where a mageta color shows up from insuffient fixing. I still get the light brown stain using fresh Rapid Fix.)
I use a acetic acid stop with the indicator. Could that be a problem?
Has anybody else experienced anything similiar using this combination? Any ideas might be helpful. Thank you in advance.
