Film came out Completely Blank

[manojit_pusty1]

<p>I used the following formula to make D76<br>

Water 125F/52C 750ml<br>

Metol 2g<br>

Sodium Sulfite (anhydrous) 100g<br>

Hydroquinone 5g<br>

Borax (granular) 2g<br>

Cold water to make 1000ml<br>

Freshly prepared</p>

<p>Fixer: Sodium Hyposulphate Pentahydrate (20 g in 300 ml water)</p>

<p>Dev: stock solution 7 minutes 24 C <br>

Ilford HP5 Plus</p>

<p><strong>The final result : THE FILM WAS ALMOST TRANSPARENT WITH VERY VERY FAINT IMAGES (CLOSE TO NONE) IN SOME NEGATIVES.</strong></p>

<p><strong>WHY DID THIS HAPPEN????</strong></p>

<p>Do you have some negative ok<br>

What about the boarder, is the boarder black ?<br>

Reason for thin negative, development time not long enough.<br>

You should cut out a piece of film put in a cup with same developer, see how long it takes to get it<br>

becomes black. </p>

<p>Are all of the chemicals you used photo grade? Impurities can be a very bad thing. Or maybe one of the ingredients went bad? Both hydroquinone and metol can go bad, they turn brown.<br>

You can see if your D-23 and sodium sulfite are good by mixing 250ml of D-23.</p>

Did the numbers and lettering on the edges of the film come out faint also or are they black?

[glen_h]

<p>Photo grade is about the lowest grade for chemicals. (Technical might be the only one lower.) </p>

<p>You can pay a lot more, and buy reagent grade for the same result.</p>

<p>THERE ARE NO BORDERS.<br>

THE NUMBERS AND LETTERS ARE GONE, TOTAL BLANK. BUT THE FILM IS NOT COMPLETELY TRANSPARENT.</p>

[zelph_young]

<p>Underdeveloped or underexposed. Did you remember to set the ISO of the film correctly?</p>

[craig_shearman1]

From the time and temperature you used you

should have gotten the film edge numbers

even if the roll had never gone through a

camera. Sounds like problem with having

made the developer from scratch. I suppose

there's some fun in doing that. But for my

money just buying D-76 is much easier and

less likely to have a problem.

[James G. Dainis]

No edge letters or numbers? The film was never developed. Everything got washed off in the fixer.

<p>After I mixed the chemicals, some half and hours later I saw white flakes floating in the bottle. I used a teflon or something like that bottle.</p>

[manojit_pusty1]

<p>Can I find if my developer is ok, using the that part of the film that extends out of the roll ?</p>
