The film developing cookbook recommends alkaline fixers for both film and paper.
Some questions for those who have made the switch:
1) When developing paper, should a water bath be used between developer and fixer?
2) Does anyone mix their own alkaline fixer? The cookbook gives the formula for TF-3. Photographic formulary sells ammonium thiosulfate in solution but doesn't give a shelf life for it. They list 1 year as the shelf life for their pre-mixed TF4 which is much more expensive than the unmixed chemicals.
Any comments would be welcome.
