color on the edge of 305 mm paper

[danifou]

I have a test file that is gray and the edges are not the same gray as in the center, I have tried different magazine and paper still the same, I know that on 37 machine you can do edge brihtness adjustment test but on 32 machine I can find such test . Any ideas?

It's impossible to see what problem you are talking about from that image.

Scan the print in using a flatbed scanner, so I can properly see the issue.

I don't have flatbed unfortunately, it's a slight discoloration on the edge of 305 paper, on gray images , a little bit magenta with yellow, it's a 1 cm from the beginning of the edge to center it's not a line , it's like the edges left and right don't develop correctly or not enough light from the Lazer hits the edge , I checked the rack units and crossover units one by one replaced springs and rollers were flows were obvious, no chance so now I m thinking that it's not enough light that falls on the edges

Also this particular machine has been modified via the drive gear to spin at a different ratio , I think also that maybe the roller tug to fast on the paper ripping slightly the emulsion creating this issue

This is either defective photo paper or poor circulation in the developer (the plastic cover that should cover the vertical shaft is missing).

[danifou]

What plastic cover ? From the rack unit? As for circulation it is good I can see easily the developer spin when filter holder is removed

I will investigate a little bit more , but I think it's just the paper bad Butch

That 2nd photo is much better! It looks like uneaven development.

Check the centre rollers and other rollers in the CD rack are not coated in silver. Also check the condition of the No.2 crossover rollers.
