Digital BW, The Print

David... The emulsion and base are extremely delicate. (Only distantly related
to Kodak's tough Estar base and hardener-impregnated emulsions.) Fixer is
aggressive and can damage and stain as well as lead to early exteriorization
even if hypo clearing agent is used. I vaguely remember Polaroid started putting
a warning in the instructions to not use fixer too, several years ago. (I'd
check, but I don't have any where I am at the moment.)

Ken,

What's the reason for your point about not using fixer when processing type
55 film?
