Mitch, My negatives from Fuji Neopan 100 are also purple, and they were properly fixed, too. It seems that is simply the base color of the film. The color did not affect the printing at all. In fact, it's a very nice film.(posted 8375 days ago)Fuji's new film, Acros, has a distinct blue-green base color. And for the little bit I've used it, I've been mightily impressed with it. The Acros tint seems to matter not at all, either.
