Hi:
What film are your using to make your enlarged negatives with? If you are
using an ortho film try using water instead of stop-bath. I used to do a
lot of 35mm kodadk ortho for work and it invariably had pinholes if stop
bath was used. None if plain water was used as a "stop bath".
I don't know if large format ortho's have this problem. I still stop my
big ortho pinhole negs in water.
