Dirty Film

from John (jreefjreef@yahoo.com)
For the past 6 months I have been using Kodak TMX for landscapes that have a lot of sky in the picture. I've noticed that my prints are basically filthy with white spots. The prints are 13x15 inches from 120 film and the dust spots are quite noticeable in the midtones of the sky. My film processing chemicles are mixed with distilled water, washed in filtered (3 micron) water, and given a final photoflo rinse in distilled water. The negatives are dried in a very dust free environment. This weekend I switched to Ilford Delta 100. Took the same kind of pictures and used the same processing technique. Guess what? No crap on my negatives. Prints are quite clean. Quite a conundrum. Has anyone else experienced similar problems with TMX?
