It would be true the yellow is likely not cleared.
However, not cleared can also look light gray. So, gray does not mean
exclusively that it has been fogged
Eric and Jeffrey,
My exposures are 5 minutes, UVBL, and I use ammonium citrate developer, and
a clear of a heaping TB citric and EDTA-di per liter. I use a totally
colorized neg, with a "manufactured" border in Photoshop of solid color. I
have not tried a black ink only border...
Light box is not getting hot. The grey is very faint, almost imperceptible.
If it is a clearing problem, is my clear of choice not good? How many
prints, for instance, do you all get from a liter of clear? I've done 16
4x6's in a gallon, 3 trays 5 min each, dump the first when it gets yellowed,
and now dumped the whole gallon.
You know, I bet I could test the clear issue if I put the print outside in
bright sun, would it expose and darken? Or could I reclear the prints at
this stage after they have been done a week? So many questions, so little
time, and I really should be concentrating on the fact that my 33 20x24
frames I ordered from Jerry's Artarama for my thesis show which haven't come
are, in fact, backordered, and they neglected to tell me in 3 calls to them
until last night and I need to hang this weekend....when it rains it pours.
