Daniel,(posted 9097 days ago)I had the same problem with Tri-x. Though I didn't process Tmax and Tri-x in the same tank, I have developed both films in the same session, using the same developer(both Tmax and Xtol)and fix, at the same temperature, in the exact same patterson model 2 reel tank. No problems whatsoever with the Tmax, the Tri-x was less forgiving. In addition to slimy emulsion, I also experienced spotting and grain reticulation. Tempering my water, and putting a sign on the toilet that says, "do not flush- washing film" went a long way. Check your processing temperatures, and if you live in an apartment with antiquated plumbing like I do, double filter your water and make sure no one flushes or showers during your rinse. In a controlled environment, you will love Tri-x and XTol. I use this combonation 90 percent of the time, and couldn't be happier with the results.
