Response to watermarks on negatives

from Mark Finhill (Finhill@keyedin.com)
Chris,

I can't say how to remove the spots, but it is easy to prevent them: Always use distilled water for all of your film chemicals. It's cheap and it prevents any mishaps from our dubious water supply. Also, it's not a bad idea to give your prints a final sloshing in a tray of distilled water prior to drying. I have found that chemicals from my tap water will dry on the print, creating an annoying haze. Distilled water is great stuff. Use a lot.
