My Cesco-lite developer tray is stained
gray from using Photographer’s Formulary BW65 1-1-4 using de-ionized
water. I have not noticed any transfer of stain back on to my prints. I have
had the problem with other trays from an unknown manufacture. The stain you
have is brown are you mixing your developer with tap water?

Bought some new trays
as my developer trays were beyond help of even tray cleaners or bleach.
Close to 20 years of dektol and glycin developers had stained them so that
they'd transfer some of the stain back onto the print borders.
Now, after a printing
session my new developer tray looks like this! I'm
just processing with Dektol 1:2 for 4-6 hours.
Is this normal or is
my memory of trays being somewhat resistant to chemicals fuzzy and
romanticized? Tray cleaner brings the tray back to 'new' condition but I
never had to do that after every session in years past with the old style
Cesco-Lite trays.
