Im fairly new at printing and ive noticed that my last couple prints are looking sort of sepia toned. Is this caused by overdevelopment, underdevelopment or underfixing? Thanks.

Often under-development will warm the print color. Under-development can come from several sources. Too dilute, too old, exhausted or not enough time.

Under-fixing will also cause discoloration, but usually not evenly across the print.

If your borders are taking on a tone, your fixer is shot. It's pretty hard to make dramatic changes in print tone with changes in development time.
