Impossible Project
Apparently a very apt name for the Impossible Project. Four exposures taken at my friend Rich's place this week.
If I understand the process correctly, when the chemistry pack is ruptured on its way through the rollers the emulsion is supposed to lift up and allow the developer reagent to be pressed all the way through the print underneath it. You could see the emulsion sticking as these ejected, so the reagent could only make it as far up the print as the emulsion would come free of the backing. You can see how the reagent pooled up down along the bottom near the bladder.
Basically it's just one more form of poor quality control, which has been typical of every pack of film I've bought from The Impossible Project.
