That will get the pink out. If it's not cut up yet then roll it back on a reel and mix of a fresh batch of rapid fix with no hardener and fix it again for another 10 minutes. Wash and dry. It is probably also the case that Kodak Hypo Clearing Agent (KHCA) will help get the pink out. Or a coffee measure of Sodium Sulfite per 2 liters of water.
