Selenium toner leaving residual metallic particulates on print
Hi there,
I've just swapped selenium toner brands from Fotospeed (never had a problem) to Bergger. I'm toning after 30 mins in a Optima print washer and when pulling the prints, they have this sort of metallic 'dust' on their surface. I don't believe it to be a fix related problem as as it has never previously occurred and is not a stain (and not in the slightest red). This 'metallic layer' can be wiped, and smears when wiped, but eventually with wiping and washing can be removed. It's obviously quite a pain however, and I can't find mention of this problem anywhere. Does anyone have any ideas? I might add that it's also left a metallic deposit on the print holder that goes in the washer. It looks almost like a steel sheet! Thanks in advance, Benjamin |
