After reading the above, I went to my darkroom and check my drum system and
found that I have described it wrongly. The drums that I am using are not
print drum (the 2800 series) but the 2500 series. Interesting, the inside of
2553 is smooth, but 2563 and 2560 (for extension) has ridges. I don't know if
the ridges are the same as those for print drums, but with 2560 and 2563, I
get absolutely no stain from the antihalation dye (which I get if I use the
smooth 2553).
But that's for stain from the antihalation dye. I don't know if it will solve
the stain problem with pyro since I haven't use it.
