Is there a way to postpone the washing of the prints until the next day? Like now, my kids and wife are asleep. I just had a great printing session, even my mother in law will like one of the prints I made. (As she said earlier today: "It's not that I want to look younger than I am, I just don't want to look older than I feel.")
Ok, as I don't have running water in the darkroom i put the prints in a bucket until the session is over and I can put them in my newly aquired big archive washer. But now I have to wait for one hour... A nice time to checkout the latest posts at APUG, of course, but I am a bit afraid the running water might wake up the family. So, what would happen if I washed the prints tomorrow instead? Will it destroy the paper?
I asked here before about washing and got some good advice on trying out alikaline fixers to cut down on washing times. I will do that (if I can find some ingrediences here in Sweden) but it won't really solve this problem completely. And I do really like my Ilford Multigrade FB and don't want to go back to RC...
