Hey everyone,
I was wrapping up a printing session the other day and very clumsily got a few drops of water on an important 5x7 negative. Mildly annoyed, I put the sheet back through a wash cycle and hung it up to dry without much more thought. The next day, I took it down and saw that the base side of the negative was covered on one half with very strange smudges/marks/scuffs(?) that looked like drying marks. I set the negative through the wash again (20 minutes, room temperature water, patterson 12x16 rapid print washer, then a dunk in distilled water with photo flo — I hadn’t used photoflo the 2 previous washes and almost never use it when developing) and this morning, the same marks are there on the negative. I grabbed some isopropyl alcohol and a q-tip to try cleaning them off but they seem to just be stuck there. Any idea what it could be and how I should try to clean them off? I’m not sure that it’ll affect printing but I am a bit concerned.
Thanks!
