Panalure Select

Hello all,

I have some Panalure selecct RC FM paper that I have been using
for making prints from b/w negatives. While I am pleased with the
quality of prints, I am having a big problem with some prints that
end up completely black.

My dark room is not really completely dark, but I have not been having
any problems with regular b/w paper, both RC and fiber.

Is Panalure really so fast that even a small amount of light leakage
can completely fog it? I have been unable to isolate the cause of this
problem. The light reflected from the paper as it is exposed is being
refected back from side wall. Can this be a problem?

Also, I am finding it very difficult to work without safelight.
Is there anythng at all that can be done?

Any tips/hints appreciated.

thanks in advance,
Sreenath
