I printed with a ton of Ilford Fiber Glassy paper in college and really loved it. My impression was always that the fiber paper had a bit better blacks and was worth the effort for photos that I really cared about. Now talking about the long term effects of not properly fixing, it might not be something that you see in a year, or maybe in two years. But I know that looking at the 80-year-old photos on the wall in different parts of the University, one could see some prints that weren't holding up as well as others. So my guess is that if you don't fix it or wash it for the required times that you are really limiting the life of the print before it starts to degrade.

I recommend pre-soaking the paper in distilled water before you start the dev process, cuts washing down and makes the paper lay much more flat. Fiber paper gives your images what most describe as "depth" and I would concur, however fiber paper is better suited for collection, archival and seriouse prints. Casual darkroom hijinks are best served by RC paper, keep up the good work!!

Yes, the idea is to let the fibers absorb clean water first. The long wash times are to rinse all the chemicals from the paper not the emulsion, I picked up the technique from an old timer I met at a camera shop. My process is as follows: expose, pre-soak, dev, stop, fix, rinse 1 min, hypo clear 2 min, final wash 10 min, dry. It's a real bitch to print fiber properly but it has its perks. Thanks!

If you have trouble figuring out the emulsion side of fiber paper, it's especially tough with matte, lightly wet the tip of your finger and the very edge of the emulsion side will feel sticky. Edit: Also bubbles in the stop usually means the stop is mixed too strong.

One thing I learned from 30 years of creative and commercial photography….always follow the direction of the “Yellow Father” in other words the Kodak data sheet or Ilford in this case. An unwashed fiber print, even RC will start to stain and even smell ugly. If stacked with clean prints it will contaminate them. The washing aids save water and time.

I love the way you take us with you in your journey, from shoot to the wall, in a very teaching way. I'm a self made photographer, and i learn all days long from others, but good film and darkroom related contents are rare nowadays as most KZitemrs are concentrating on technicals things or gear. Another things i loved, is you're not shooting with expensive gears like a hassy or a leica. To be honest i've watched all your channel contents in maybe 2 or 3 days... and now I'm waiting for your next video with a lot of impatience So keep going, and i hope someday i could come to the isle of wight, or you could come to brittany, where i live and maybe meeting you and paying you a pint ;) best regards from a froggy

Agfa Brovira, Ektalure, many Ilford types and so many more from around the world. They cost more to use so I worked up my prints using resin papers and made my final on fiber. I correlated exposure and contrast by previous tests. That first print passed the selenium test for residual fixer so, you never know, your grandchildren might be proud.

@@ShootFilmLikeaBoss I'm remembering 8 X 10 fiber being .50/sheet plus ca. 1972. RC, as it was called in the US, was between 60 and 75% of the cost of fiber. The time savings of course still applied so for all but the "exhibition print" it was plastic. I'm a fan of glossy fiber paper, air dried so it's slightly matte. I then spritz the back of the curly print and put it in my dry mount press, take it out hot and press it in blotter paper. Flat as a filbert. Double weight was as stiff as a card.

Always enjoy your vids Roger. I dry my FB in a water colour sketch book, after a stint of being stuck to my tiled wall to dry. I can tell when it's ready to go in to the book as it starts to curl off the tiles. Apart from the feeling of holding the FB in your hand I don't think there is enough advantage over RC, especially when mounted. But it's certainly fun to have alternatives. PS I love the idea of drying with an iron, but I am afraid my wife would throw a basket of clothes at me while I'm at it....

I've never used resin paper and I think your washing will be adequate. I have fiber prints that I have washed in trays, letting them soak and changing out the water a few times over a couple of hours and I have never had a print lose its original values. I always selenium tone in a hypo clear solution (sodium sulfite basically). You were doing the right thing when washing after fixing and before toning; sometimes that will cause yellow spots to appear if fixer is still in the paper. Depending on the type of fixer you used, sodium thiosulfate based fixers can cause staining if not washed prior to toning, but your experience may differ. I use Ilford Hypam fixer now and it has cut my fixing time down and made toning much easier. I like your DIY washer, I still wash my prints in big 16x20 trays, kind of a soak and flush process. I dry mine on screens and if I want them flat I put them in my dry mount press for a minute and then put a heavy book on top (make sure it is clean, no grit) while it cools. Enjoyed the video!

If your fixing and washing routine was insufficient, my understanding is that the selenium toning would've brought that out. Any residual silver would have toned.

Hi , I dry my fiber print on a at least 6 mm thick glass plate . First I wipe the water off the print and place it with the photo upwards on the glass plate . Press away the air unther the print . Than I cut aquarel glue paper strokes on lenght . Moister the glue paper stroke on a sponge with a tiny bit water . It must not be dripping wet , than the glue get unther the print and you get big problems to get the dried print from the glass plate . So moister the paper tape light . Than I go to bed and the next morning I cut with a narrow brake off knife along the edges off the print . If you are lucky you hear the dried print tick from the losing tension . Sometime you have to cut a little bit unther the print where the paper edge got glued to the glass plate . Here is the narrow brake off knife very handy you can bend the knife flat to cout unther paper . Why I do dry my fiber prints this way ? Because the fibers from the paper get straight in one direction and the fiber print will stay flat for ever . The other important plus is that the tint and tonal scale from the fiber print stay the same like the wet print . My paper Fomabrom Variant become a little yellow from hot drying in a press . Your wintersport prints look like taken in the Sahara effect ..... I can have made some mistakes in my Dutch engels , but I think you untherstand . Peter .

Fibre paper spoils you. It spots perfectly for dust, tones nicely and has huge archival permanence. The downside is it's prone to curl, takes longer to wash and these days is damned expensive. There are as many theories on flattening the stuff as there are photographers. The traditional way was in big linen coated print glazers. I find getting the paper almost dry and sandwiching it in water colour paper under a heavy weight works. To get it perfectly flat FB paper needs mounting. Matt resin coated paper is a reasonable substitute.
