Hello,
I have recently started printing my own colour prints and although the first attempts were pretty o.k., on my second attempt (with a different neg) the prints came out with a very deep blue cast. This time I used a developing tank, instead of trays. It is not possible that any fix got in the dev solution as this happened the very first time i used the tank. Does anyone know what might have caused this? Could it be that the dev was too cold? I am using Tetenal RA-4 kit (with Kodak RA-4 paper) so it only needs room temp to work. The room temp was a couple of degrees below the stated 61 degrees C the instructions reccommend. Would this be enough to turn the prints dark murky blue?!
Additionally - does anyone have any experience with the Tetenal RA-4 chemicals and know after how many prints they should be chucked?
Thx
