Response to Jobo, TMX, 4 x 5, streaks!

Mark, first you should use the wing flaps, they keep the film in place and aid in random agitation. You dont mention if you are using a Jobo procesor or a motor base like a Beseler. But if you are using a motor base the rpms are too slow and you need to switch the tank every so often to avoid streaks. If you are using the Jobo the reason you are getting streaks is because you are not using the flaps, the drums rotate fast enough to prevent streaking if you use the flaps. There is no difference if you put the emulsion facing in or out.
