APUG - View Single Post - Pink or Magenta Cast with T-max, new Tri-X, and other films (not blue or green cast)

Nicole, you said that the problem is with Tri-X, not Tmax?

Tmax will exhaust the fixer more rapidly, leaving a pink stain. If the stain is heavy and irregular, fixing in fresh fixer will usually correct this. If the stain is slight, soaking in hypo clearing agent may remove it.

I have never seen this on Tri-X, just on Tmax films.
