It has been a while since I had to set up a dark room and I noticed you talked about your chemical temp at the working stage. Do you mix dry stock for your chemicals? I would think that if your developer is old or it is not mixed correctly it will affect the quality of the print. This and light leaks are the only thing that came to mind.

I'm beginning to think that Andrea couldn't figure out the problem, went insane, and joined a group of renegade pirates, never to post here again.
