T-Max Pink (magenta) tint

Kodak uses a magent anti-halation dye that is quite stubborn to wash out. Here's the best way to get rid of it, also helps Delta's purple tint: Use plain water stop and Photographers Formulary TF-4 Archival fixer. This is an alkaline fixer and will be ruined if an acid stop is used. Follow the instructions for T-Max on all film. Most of the magenta tint will come out in the fixer, and the rest will wash out in a normal 15-20 minute wash. It works!
