Hey, gang! Gots another darkroom question. While my own darkroom is in
the works (and progressing most slowly) I've decided to start using a
public darkroom about 20 miles from home. Current plans are to continue
developing negatives at home, and only bring what I intend to print to
the dark
That's okay with fiber based paper. Resin coated paper can't be washed that
long. It will fog. Alternatively, you could string a piece of clothesline
across the back seat of your car and hang the prints with clothespins to dry as
you drive. Turn the heat up!

I had noticed that the problem wasn't as prevalen in recent years as it once
was. But I was using Ilford Multigrade IV when I last did darkroom work and
long soaks resulted in a look that I would describe as foggy. It was uneven,
only part of the paper would be damaged, which rendered the prin
You should throw them away. I have used RC paper since 1975 and only
the older papers were subject to fog (maybe), particularly Kodak, i
