Digital BW, The Print

Paul, what are you using as a stop? indicator or plain water?  Sodium
sulfite along with edta tetra sodium or metabisulfite can help your wash. I
have seen times where the  soak in a clearing agent solved the issue with
color being left in the film; all other things being equal.

This is a small thing but I would appreciate anyone with knowledge who could
chime in with info:
I recently spent some time in Budapest on an artist residency. I had decided
that I would try and use local film to photograph there. I found this film
called Fomopan 100 (645). I bought a bunch of it and now, back home in
Singapore, am developing it using TFX 2, Formulary's interesting developer I
have been using for several years.
Okay, the question: the film is blue! the film base has a decided blue cast.
Is it something I am doing? Some odd chemical twist? I am scanning it and it
doesn't seem to affect anything. I have printed some big contact prints and
they seem good but the color is so weird!
If anyone can enlighten me about this I would appreciate it.
