Mark on Ilford SFX 200 Negative


Recommended Posts

Your "blobs" appear to be some type of gunk on the negative preventing exposure on the scanner. If the emulsion were missing, you would see black. My SWAG for the moment would be uneven drying with excessive photo-flo on the neg. Check the negative with back lighting & see which side the "blobs" (if any) appear. You may be able to clean them off the non emulsion side. Bill Edited by Bill Bowes

It's crud on the negative (or scanner glass). It looks large enough that you ought to be able to see it with the naked eye.

 

Try a dusting brush. It may come off the negative or glass easily. If not, and it's on the negative, then rewashing the film might remove it.

 

The real answer is to use distilled or filtered water throughout processing, together with scrupulous cleanliness during drying, storage and scanning.

Looks to me like the ‘marks’ are deposits from the film development process. I don’t think there’s 2 marks, but rather a continues line of marks, which is what the ‘bubbles’ would produce.

When loading the spool, there may have been a slight kink in the film, which could have trapped the bubbles during Dev or Fix, or even Photo Flow; Or, there wasn’t sufficient ‘tapping’ during the process to clear out the bubbles.
