Blue stains c41


Recommended Posts

Hello, can someone explain why this roll was so damaged and what are those blue dots? I developed it together with another film and the second was perfect. Since is from a client I ignore if the film was expired, but the owner told me they exposed it more than 1 year ago, is this the cause of this deterioration?

Spots like that are usually caused by contamination of the film by metal particles - specks of rust from an old camera for example.

 

Of course it's impossible to accurately diagnose the fault remotely, but metal contamination would be my best guess.

Thanks a lot, the film was very sticky when i removed from the canister, i suspect was either water damaged or put in a super humid location. The other film loaded in the same tank with same chems was perfect.
