Tried developing roll of 400 B&W in folgernol
« on: September 11, 2007, 02:54:00 AM »

Took  a roll of Kodak B&W film I ran through a 4 lens actionsampler camera and developed it in forgernol/caffernol substance used fixer and they came out but look too dark and kinda hazy, any ideas on how to fix this?

Kinda hard to tell what went wrong...

We don't know the developing temperature, development time, type of agitation, shutter speed of the camera, aperture, lighting conditions...

That's not including the fact that the concentrations used in the developer can vary quite a bit from batch to batch...

Maybe you could fix it by scanning... depending on how dark it is...
I don't know if using a reducer on the film would work with a stained negative...

But on average, caffeinol processed film should print fairly fine... they just need more time in the enlarger.
