I exposed a couple of Portra 400 4x5 sheets on the weekend and developed them using Tetenal Colourtec solution that has been stored for about six months. The sheets came out blank , I did them seperately but got the same result for both. I stored the solution in the proper plastic well sealed bottles, not refrigerated and have used the solution on and off since mixing it. In between uses I fill the space in the bottle with butane gas. Is the solution too off or has something else gone wrong? If I hold the sheets up to a light I can see through them but there is no sign of an image, nothing at all. But the odd thing is the side with the emulsion on it still has that mocha opaque look to it when not held up to a light. I'm guessing it is the solution that is the problem but not sure.
Thanks
