Tim,

Thanks for the tip.  Have been turning off my low output amber safelight
and using a Maglite with diffuser and red filter - guess I'll have to find
a set of red filters for the safelight.

A new batch of paper should be arriving for the weekend - hope to have a
couple of good prints at some point over the next few days.




All the best,
