I did very gently run my fingernail over it but couldn't really feel anything. Luckily this isn't a photo I really care about printing, just worried about it happening in the future. That's what I'm thinking. I'm thinking maybe my changing bag has collected some dust/debris and maybe something fell on it while putting it on the reel. I'm not sure what else could have happened.

Hm, I don't think so, I've become pretty efficient at loading the steel reels. I clean my reels after every session by soaking them in water, washing them as I would film, then drying them with a rag pretty thoroughly, so I don't think that is the issue. The color of the film base is not accurate, this was taken with my phone using a loupe. There is a very slight purple tint, but I've been told this has no effect on printing or scanning.

Hi all, I've been processing my BW film for about a year now, but only recently have started working at home and managing my own chemicals (had access to a public darkroom before). On the last few rolls I developed, there were 1 or 2 frames that came out with a small mark on them (photo attached). Any idea what could cause this? I'm using HC-110, dilution H, Ilford stop, Hypo clear, Ilford rapid fixer, doing Ilford's archival wash then photo flo. I've processed about 35 rolls of 35mm and maybe 15 of 120 and have replenished the fixer once. Could it be a deposit from the fixer? I'm using distilled water to mix all my chemicals and for the last wash. Thanks,
