Cross-posting because I realized I initially posted this in the wrong forum.

The Colex roller transport processor at the darkroom has started to give me issues - specifically roller marks and banding. I’ve noticed the issue almost exclusively on my Kodak papers (Endura, Royal). My Fuji paper (CA type II) is largely unaffected. I know the processor is set up with Fuji Digital RA pro chemicals (P1-R developer). I’ve attached a photo of an un-corrected test print to show it at its worst. What the hell is going on? I will add the first response was to take out and thoroughly wash the rollers. They’ve been washed at least a couple of time within the past week in attempts to rectify the issue, but no dice.

By the way, using the "Report this post", you can get threads moved to another forum, change the title, threads merged ...

I do not have enough experience or knowledge to help you with your problem, but I hope it is sorted out for you soon.

Good grief this is thread #3. I sent a note to mods to merge the other 2 and nuke this one
