Spent last night printing some images taken on APX 100 and I've found vertical lines running down the negs, not clearly visible on the film, but visible on the print. It shows up on different paper batches from the same session, but not the HP5 I was printing, so I don't think it's the paper or enlarger. Film was hand processed by local lab in Rodinal.
Any ideas?
Image is at
(there was a url link here which no longer exists)

this is in the print also, and not just in the scan? Those look like they COULD be roller-transport lines (I would suspect the lab that processed them hasn't been keeping up with their processor maintenance if this is the case).

Hi Scott, I wondered about that, but with Rodinal being one-shot can it be machine processed? I was assuming it was run in a tank?

It may have gone through a dryer that was roller-transport.

Ah! I never thought of that. I guess I'll be going to the lab on Monday.
I'm hoping it's in the processing not the actual film because I've got 200 rolls of it in the fridge!

Rory, something tells me you won't have any problems getting rid of APX 100 in 120.

The lines look very much the same as residual Photo Flo after the film has been squeeged after final wash with a chamoise skin or blade then dried.

The sample included here could not be from roller marks or other mechanical mishaps during processing. The problem occurred after processing and during
the last wash before drying. Have seen the exact same things many times!
