I have some fiber based and RC photo paper that I want to try for my final support in Carbon printing. I know I have to FIX OUT this paper before I can use it. Do I have to do this fixing in complete darkness (no safe lights allowed) or what? Thanks

I fix with a non-hardening fix, such as Ilford Rapid. I have heard that a non-hardening fixer is recommended. A hardening fixer may prevent good transfers.
