1 Fixer Strength II III absolute reflection density Kodak recommends paper fixer strength to be about half as concentrated as film fixer. For archival processing, Ilford recommends the same ‘film-strength’ fixer concentration for film and paper. Kodak’s method exposes the paper to relatively low thiosulfate levels for a relatively long time, where Ilford’s method exposes the paper to relatively high thiosulfate levels for a relatively short time. It has been suggested that this reduces fixing times to a minimum and leaves little time for the fixer to contaminate the paper fibers.
Image Permanence Archival processing is preparation for an unknown future. If it is done well, the print will most likely out-last the photographer who processed it. On the other hand, if it is done carelessly, or just plain sloppily, then the print may look fine for years, or decades, before deterioration suddenly becomes evident. There is research evidence that modern environmental conditions can shorten the life of a print, even when processed perfectly. And of course, we have no idea how the chemical cocktail of future environments will affect new and old silver-based images, making any prediction about a print’s potential life expectancy problematic, or at best, demoting them to professional guesswork.
