It is difficult to answer this on the Internet. Fixing and washing is very
important with these films. I suggest using something like Kodak's rapid
fixer on it, following Kodaks directions for this film. I use two-bath
fixing (with half the time in each bath. Then a one-minute rinse, a couple
of minutes in KHCA, and a 10-minute running water wash. I do not get purple
color after this. The KHCA seems to remove the last little bit of color.
