Response to Substitution for sodium metaborate in alkaline fixer

Hi Pete, alkaline fixers have a couple of uses. Especially popular with pyro users because acid fixes apparently are not conducive to the stain. Have also heard arguments for keeping paper processing alkaline to enable going striaght from fix to Selenium toner (see www.heylloyd.com and technical section for an interesting paper on same). Cheers, DJ.
