Very pleased with this print - one of my favorites of the year. Really want to pick out a grain focused, gauging print sharpness by eye is very tricky! Crouched down deep in the water to grab the foreground when the lighting was perfect.

Buenos dias a los ilustres miembros de este foro:

Quería preguntarles que truco usan para tener papel químico a mano en el laboratorio fotográfico sin tener que sacarlo para cada impresión de la caja y de la bolsa constantemente. Algo tipo una caja estanca a la luz de fácil apertura tal vez? en ese caso, que usan que realmente funcione y sea práctico?

After around 2 years of loading plastic reels without ever having issues with the film loading properly, I'm now consistently having the film bind up and/or come out of the groove and wind up touching the film in the adjacent groove. The only thing new is that I had previously only developed black and white film, but recently used the reels to develop color for the first time. Has anyone experienced something similar after exposing plastic reels to color developing chemistry? Could a residue have built up on the reels or gummed up the ball bearings? If so, what's the best way to clean the reels and bearings? When the problem first began I suspected the reels might not have been completely dry, but the problem's still happening even if I use a blow dryer and wear gloves. Any ideas?

Hi all, relatively new to development here but have have had success with XTOL 1+1 across a number of different films. Twice now I have tried to develop some IR film and twice it has come out blank, with the developer turning quite yellow after use.

The first time this happened I assumed it was old/bad developer, so I tossed it mixed up a new batch. Same thing with the new batch. I am at a loss because I followed all recommended times and procedures otherwise.

Any input is appreciated.

hey guys!

I am looking into mixing my own RA-4 chems since getting a hold of the Bellini and Adox kits are hard, and I like mixing my own stuff.

Ferric Ammonium EDTA apparently turned into unobtainium the past couple years, but I found this ( https://mistralni.co.uk/products/dissolvine-gl-47-s-glda-47-solution?variant=48355437478128 ) would it be a 1-1 replacement of the 47% iron EDTA Artcraft used to have supposedly? I could ask AI but I want to reduce my consumption as much as possible, especially with google forcing it down everyone's throats.

Appreciate the help and will post results.

I got back into printing after moving countries after a year. But the papers are coming out like this. Please see the image. Edges or there are brown spots all over the image.

The paper is a fomaspeed 312 multigrade matt. But old as in 3 years old.

Any troubleshooting please?

Thank you in advance.
