Always follow the health and safety recommendations on the packaging. Overexposed prints developed for a minimum of 35 seconds are acceptable for those applications where the highest quality is not required. Stop bath See the 'Processing summary' for stop bath recommendations. A stop bath stops development immediately, reduces the risk of staining and will extend the life of the fixer bath. A water rinse can be used instead of a stop bath, but it must be changed frequently to avoid processing marks.
Fixation See the 'Processing summary' for fixing recommendations.
The use of a hardening fixer is not recommended as it reduces washing efficiency. Washing See the 'Processing summary' for washing recommendations. When a dryer for resin coated papers is not available, remove surplus water from the prints and leave them to dry. At room temperature, prints will dry in 10-20 minutes. IV RC DeLuxe paper, as with other resin coated papers, should not be glazed or dried on a drum or flatbed glazer, as this can cause the polyethylene in the paper to stick to the glazing surface.
