[pure-silver] Re: a recent problem with fine dust on negs

Most recent info:

Here's what I did this afternoon. I strained my developer through 3 coffee filters. I discarded my fixer and mixed new, straining fixer through coffee filters and mixing with distilled water.

I selected a roll of unimportant 120 film, and processed it using a rinse of distilled water before I went to each next step. While I did wash the film in tap water, I ended by letting the film stand for a bit in distilled water, dumping, and rinsing again in distilled.

No spots on this roll! ~whew~

By the way, it hung to dry where it always does - in the shower.

Thank you all for your input. I never expected so much trouble at such a time as this - 1 week before I have to turn in prints for an exhibit!

Janet,

Where do you dry your film?  Out in the open?  In a closed dryer?  ???
