A friend of mine had this problem when he was printing the other day and we have been googling our fingers of to find out what happen.
He shoots large format (5x7) and loads his camera with paper. Then he makes negative prints in the darkroom.
We made fresh Ilford Multigrade developer ( also use Ilford paper ) out of a new bottle.
The first print came out great. The next one came out like it was a bit over exposed. The third one came out with a hint of golden tint in the highlights. The fourth one came out with a lot of golden tint all over. At that point we stopped.
Any idea what might be the problem? Both the developer and the paper where fresh and far from being expired. We have done this many times the same way with no problems.
