Hi
I have been donated a box of fuji suuper fa5 lustre paper and when I put a few sheeets through our ra4 tetenal chemicals the paper all came out pink. Can anyone hazard a guess as to why this may be?
thanks

Can you be more specific? A pink cast overall but otherwise some differentiation between colours? Definitely pink and definitely not red or magenta?

How old are the paper and chemicals?

I probably won't have the answer for you after you have told us more but the more specific you can be the quicker somebody(ies) will get to an answer.

According to the second post in (there was a url link here which no longer exists) Fuji color papers can go pink once they're past their prime. As you say the paper was given to you, it's quite possible that this is the case, and/or it was improperly stored.

I've had this happen twice with Fuji paper. In both cases the paper was well within date. Fuji replaced both batches no questions asked.
