Fixing prints

John: I'm presently using Kodak Rapid Fixer. For paper I mix 118 ml. of solution A (fixer) and 13 ml. of solution B (hardener) to make one liter of working solution. This mixture is derived from the standard instructions. Kodak doesn't actually say anything about using (or not) hardener on prints. However, I tend to agree with you on this point, of not using the hardener. I'll probably stop mixing it into the solution as of my next printing session. It probably affects toning (in selenium) as well as making it more difficult to retouch. Thanks for your reply. David
