Response to Effect of White Light on a Fixing Print

Thanks for asking this question – I usually wait a minute or two before turning on the white lights, but sometimes I wait only 30 seconds, and was wondering if it causes any ill effects to the print. The answers given here seem to indicate that the print is safe once it is immersed in the fix. The reason I was wondering if it is safe is because I sometimes notice tiny black dots on the print, sometimes only one or two. I already know that exhausted developer causes this problem, but was starting to question whether turning the white light on too soon may have been a cause. It seems from the answers given that it must have been the developer causing the black dots.
