I started presoaking the film in water for a few minutes before developing,
and my bubbles problem went away.
I also mixed a bit of developer with stop in a glass, same concentrations as
I had been using, and didn't see any reaction.
Just thought I'd follow up on my question from a couple of day
Looks like it was airbells, then if it was small discs rather than
spots. I've never used Xtol but I'll beware if ever I do, although it
shouldn't matter in a Jobo ATL1000, I hope.
For those of us who don't like presoaks (I've got no preference) two
solutions come to mind. One is to start the pr

I had this problem with xtol for a few rolls. I started pre-soaking and
rapping the tank harder, and haven't had the problem since.

Juan,
If you're already giving the tank a good tap on the bench, especially
when the developer is first put in, then air bells might not be your
problem. Air bells will give you small discs of less or no density, but
you say you're getting dots. It could be insufficient agitation in the
first m
I wonder if, in the case of dark spots on the frame (ie the negative) if it
is not a chemical reaction of the developer and the water used to make it
up. since this is an organic developer, it may behave different to say D76.
In the past, I always used distilled water for the developer and any wat
