tiny dots on acros

Hi there,

I shoot acros in 120 a lot and sometimes I get a roll that looks like the picture below (it is a 100% crop of a scan). Basically the whole film is covered in tiny dots. Any idea what might cause this? Could it be related to the washing stage? tiny bublles staying on the film after it comes out of photo-flo? Or could it be related to the developing or fixing stages?

Thanks!

Black specks in the scan, or black specs when looking at the bare negative?

Are you performing a pre-soak of any kind?

the specks are on the negative. I do rinse the film for about 2 minutes before adding developer.
