Hi all, I have some strange green streaks on a negative that look to be something to do with something running down the negative during development. (I use a Jobo CPA-2., and the motor only goes one way, but that has not negatively affected anything and even after this negative I continue to make great-looking negs in the machine.) I did 4 negatives in this batch and the other 3 turned out just fine and with no problems at all.
I've had streaks before, but they were pink, and after posting on the forum and tons of other folks saying it was just "light leaks," I had a hunch that wasn't it. I had a hunch that the fixer hadn't fully done its job removing the silver halide, and sure enough I threw the negs back in the blix and the pink streaks went right away. Problem solved, I thought.
Now, I have streaks that are green. I threw this neg back in the blix today (which is days later, and after stabilizing it initially when I developed it last week) and the streaks are still there. So I'm wondering if anyone has any idea what the deal is. The pink streaks I had before were excess silver halide, but these green streaks I have no idea. The chemicals I used were the Arista c41 kit, with an added stop bath in between developer and blix (on the advice of forum member PE to make it easier for the blix to do its job).
Here is a detail of the problem:
Any ideas why?
