Subject: Processing RC papers
I would like to know if anyone has had experience with testing fixer residue (sodium thiosulphate *or* ammonium thiosulphate) levels in Resin Coated photographic papers. I am concerned about the level of fixer present in RC papers which have been run through a black and white print processor (a process which takes 1 minute). Our institution is currently using such a processor, and these prints are destined for our permanent collection of photographs. Establishing just how much fixer residue these prints retain seems paramount. Are there any suggestions?
