Sheet film uneven edge density

[Brian C. Miller]

Woa, now, that's a lot of developer in that drum! Have you tried using Jobo's recommended amount of developer? I honestly don't think that it is possible for the quantity of developer, especially way too much, to affect the negative like that. I am sure that you have some kind of light leakage at some point.

I hang my film from the notch code corner.

Hang one upside down - from the opposite corner of the notch - and see if it has the drying marks on the opposite corner.

I've used 1500 ml of developer in a Jobo 3010 with no problem than some of it leaking out of the drum during processing.

Yes I agree , most likely insufficient agitation in developer at the beginning of the run.

Dear Jordan;
That is most definitely a processing error, most likely in the developer. A properly washed negative that has been thoroughly developed and fixed will not show density differences due to any form of drying that I am aware of, short of incineration.

There is no way it's due to insufficient agitation. The is not indicative of that plus it's being agitated plenty as the jobo won't accept chemistry properly any other way.

I too use an expert tank for processing film and its minus density in the film which is caused by lack of dev getting to areas of the film in the first 15 seconds.
We manually agitate before popping on the jobo for this very reason.
If it is showing up in the exact spot every time then I withdraw my observation.
If it is random minus density, and not on every sheet then its could be the same problem we experienced.
Our Agitation before putting the tank on the rollers got rid of this problem.
