Patric,(posted 9010 days ago)The current recommendation from Ilford is a two bath fix, in rapid fixer mixed double strength (film strength). 30 seconds in each fixing bath, then wash with a wash aid.
The idea is that by using strong rapid fixer, you can get complete fixing in less time, so that the fixer doesn't penetrate the fiber base. This allows a fairly short wash, but meeting archival standards.
I think if you read otherwise, it was from someone who is sticking with the old methods. Times change.
