" T-Max Films:
 
With some films, such as Kodak's T-Max series,     fixer   capacity 
is reduced to one-half of what one normally expect, and fixing times 
are extended to twice the usual time, since silver iodide present in 
the "high tech" emulsions is resistant to fixation, and 
exceedingly insoluble. 
 
In Kodak publication F-32 on T-Max films, Kodak indicates that a 
magenta stain may be left in the emulsion with inadequate fixing, and 
recommends further fixing with fresh fixer to remedy the problem. The 
magenta sensitizing dye is adsorbed to the silver halide (EKC 
statement - not speculation) and when the halide is fully dissolved, 
the dye is removed. 
 
In some instances, the dye can be removed by treatment with hypo-
clear, which usually contains sulfite or high salt concentrations 
which can act as weak fixers in addition to displacing hypo, or with 
prolonged water washes. 
The "stain" problem isn't whether it will interfere with 
variable contrast paper filtration or not, but its indication that 
the film isn't fixed properly. "

il est possible que pour des questions de rationalisation de sa production, Kodak ait utilisé le même colorant dans le support des TriX, voire ait incorporé de l'iodure d'argent dans sa composition, ce que pense certains
