rpavich Posted November 17, 2015 Share #1 Posted November 17, 2015 Advertisement (gone after registration) Hi, I have started to get funny looking grain on my B&W shots that I've developed with HC-110. This has been the way the last two rolls have looked. I'm suspecting that my fixer is old but that's just a random guess. I'm using Dilution B and this was stock box speed Tri-X.Has anyone seen this?They sort of look like rice grains. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TomB_tx Posted November 17, 2015 Share #2 Posted November 17, 2015 Could this be reticulation of the emulsion? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
gbealnz Posted November 17, 2015 Share #3 Posted November 17, 2015 My first thoughts too, reticulation. Too great a temp difference, dev/fix/wash/etc. Gary Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's very possible that my wash or stop water temp was different from dev/fix temp. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
tobey bilek Posted November 19, 2015 Share #5 Posted November 19, 2015 Water bath and check all temps. Wash water is best if you fill a gallon jug and use Ilford wash sequence. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks, that's a very good point. I'm sure that my running tap water wasn't close enough to the dev/fix temp. I'll give this a try also. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
