Subject: HIE printing brownish?? Help 


One again, I call on the photo gurus... 

. 
What is up with this?? The paper is Ilford RC Glossy and is about 2 years 
old (no refridge, probably got pretty hot) 
If I print without the safelight and run it though it still doesn't look 
completly right, the greys don't look grey they look greyish brown. 
There are a lot of factors at work here. I just have my darkroom back up 
with a lot of new equipment, like a coldlight. 
Please let me know where to start.

This definitely sounds like heat damage to the paper. Unlike purely heat fogged, you are seeing the developer coupled into the emulsion break down and create a stain. So unless you want an antique look, toss the paper.
