Blew a whole day fixing a bad toner mix that should have taken 20 minutes

Spent 5 hours in Tulsa last week trying to correct a purple mess because I didn't double check my formula ratio before applying. Has anyone else had a toner disaster that snowballed like that?

Oh man, that's rough... purple is such a pain to correct once it sets in. So what was off with your ratio - did you have too much purple toner in the mix or was it the developer strength that threw it off? I've definitely been there where I'm rushing and just eyeball it instead of measuring, and then boom, an hour turns into all day trying to fix it.

@parker_patel84 it was definitely too much purple toner in the mix. I got in a hurry and just dumped a bunch in without measuring (rookie move, I know). Ended up having to double the developer and pray it lifted enough before it really locked in. Those little measuring cups, they're annoying but totally worth using every single time.
