Hi all,
Still a mystery but I followed up on several suggestions.
First off, I took the last two prints that went through the soup and
pulled at random 5 more out the the 30 8x10's that went through. I then
tested using a 1:9 solution of Selenium, 2-3 drops on the border of each
print... 3-4 minute wait, no staining. Paper is perfectly clear, you
can't tell where the drops of KRST were. So I assume that Fixer I, and
Fixer II, despite its amber colour, did their work and are not exhausted.
To facilitate the KRST test at the end of a printing run, I made a small
solution to fit into a clean ink bottle and got several syringes from
the pharmacy to distribute the drops. Question is, how long can the
solution keep like that? Should it maybe be stored a a brown lab bottle?
The other thing that I did was to buy 6 gallons of domestic bleach and
poured the stuff into the two fixer, stop, and 2 developer trays.
So no closer to an explanation.
And a big thanks to all who helped out.
Cheers,
Bogdan

Hi,
I lay down the Saran Wrap so that it floats on top (in contact) of the
solution and hopefully cuts all contact with the air.
