I changed the water around 6 to 8 times, so I don’t think the issue necessarily lies with the washing step. When I was mixing the fixer, I noticed that it wasn’t as crystal clear as distilled water — there were some suspended particles visible to the naked eye, although they were so small that I...

I try to give up, if someone in Sydney, please let me know, we can share experiences, or I can show you how to get the stain😂😂，and then should be find the result

Okay fine😂😂😂

I can only buy water labeled “distilled water” from the supermarket. Also, I only change the water twice for rinsing between the bleach and fixer steps — I believe this should be sufficient.

all chemistry

but tonight I’m use distilled water

I bought a new bottle of distilled water today, from a different brand and store, but the result was exactly the same as before with the ultra pure water. I can rule that out, because I didn’t hang the film — I was observing it while it was still on the reel. In other words, I had already seen...

I’ve just finished what must be yet another round of testing, and although it might still be too early to draw a final conclusion, based on my observations, the speckled stains in the image seem to appear only after the film comes into contact with distilled water following the fixing stage. In...

yes I will

I want to do an experiment: soak a film leader directly in fixer and take it out to see if there are any spots, because it’s clear that the issue occurs after the bleach step.

acid nothing help

yes

The water is ultra pure water, but still slightly inferior to distilled water. Today, I will continue experimenting with real distilled water.

Yesterday I developed two rolls of 135 film. One was processed with Ilfocolor and rinsed with distilled water before drying. The other was developed with Kodak chemistry. After finishing the bleach step, I did two rounds of water wash and checked the negatives — they were clean without any...

I’m use Kodak c41 fixer
