Your image might not develop at all. If your developer has been contaminated by fixer you should discard the solution and mix up fresh before developing your film. Fixer is acid. Developer is alkaline. All other things aside, the acid in fixer will neutralize at least some of the alkali in developer, causing the developer to slow down or stop working altogether. Your image would either be underdeveloped (at best) or not developed at all.
As an aside, one reason for using a mildly acid stop bath between the developer and the fixer is to neutralize the alkali in the developer before it's carried into the fixer. This will make your fixing bath last longer.
What else can I help you with?
What would happen if you use the fixer solution before the developer solution?
The chemical on the paper will be fixed and wont develop.
When processing radiographs what does the smell of ammonia indicate?
fixer has contaminated the developer
What are the essential chemicals needed by a film developer to process film, including stop bath and fixer?
The essential chemicals needed by a film developer to process film include developer solution, stop bath, and fixer. The developer solution develops the latent image on the film, the stop bath halts the development process, and the fixer stabilizes the image and makes it permanent.
What component of a fixer solution is found in fixer but not developer?
In Fixer you can find Sodium thiosulfate :Na2S2O3·5H2O and Ammonium thiosulfate: (NH4)2S2O3 for black and white photography, in purpose to remove unexposed silver halide.They can not be found in developer ! In Developer for black and white photography: Metol,Phenidone and Hidroquinone for purpose chemical that makes the latent image on the film or print visible!
What is the name of the solution used in darkrooms?
Depends what kind of print you are developing. For a black and white print, you typically use developer, stopbath, and fixer.
How you estimate percentage of silver in used fixer solution?
The percentage of silver used in fixer solution is over 99%.................
What should the concentrations be for photo developer and fixer. box says 1 plus 9 does this mean one part developer 9 parts water?
yes
Which chemicals are used in photograph?
developer-brings up the image stop bath-halts the action of the developer fixer-clears image and makes it permanent//no longer sensitive to light
Why is it important to keep developer and fixer compartments covered with lids when not being used?
To prevent oxidation of the solutions and escaping fumes
Is film developing has to use fixer or only developer and stop can do the work?
You must use fixer. If you don't, the undeveloped silver halide will remain in the film, and you won't be able to get light through it--hence the negatives will be useless.
What happens if a radiographic image is placed in the fixer before the developer?
If a radiographic image is placed in the fixer before the developer, it will result in a completely blank image. The fixer is designed to remove unexposed silver halide crystals from the film, so without the development step, there will be no latent image to reveal. Essentially, the film will be washed and rendered unusable for diagnostic purposes. Proper processing order is crucial for obtaining a usable radiographic image.
What causes gritty x ray film?
depleted fixer solution
