Origin of negative scratches?

Squeege from someone who should know better. Sooner or later this happens as you drag some debris and fail to clean it.

Maybe an acceptable fault when self-developing as an amateur, but to my mind it should not happen in a self-acclaimed specialist b/w lab. Even there, of course, a handling error may occur - not replying at all to a polite customer complaint/ feedback, however is a no-go. I have deleted this lab from my personal map.

I never squeegee. I use distilled water for washing the film and hang to dry in a dust-free place. Distilled evaporates completely and leaves no marks. A cheap home distiller allows you to distill your own and keep in bottles.
