Check your fixer; Fix for twice as long as it takes the film to clear (lose it's milky appearance); usually 2 to 4 minutes in liquid-concentrate fixers, 5 to 10 minutes in powder fixers. 2. Final wash to short or ineffective. You can remove the pink haze by re fixing & washing the film. Or after a period of time it will dissapear on it's own accord.
