TMAX 400 TMY requires a lot of fixing (compared with non-tabular grained films). Some fixers have trouble removing the residual dye from this film. I recently tested a fixer that was quite successful in removing the TMAX 400 dye. The freshly mixed fixer had a measured pH of about 7 which slowly decreased (over several weeks of use) to a pH of about 6.
