Ah I visited the site above and have this feeling that I or we in France
have been scanning with a different Kami than maybe we should have. Myself,
some big photo labs running Tango's and even Heidelberg France have been
scanning with RC 2001 which is rose and listed as film cleaner not to be
used on the drum. Are you using the SXL 2001 blue Scannex liquid?
