I want to know if anyone have the dilution & the time to use the FX-UNIVERSAL fixer (Agfa) with black&white paper and film . The only I've been able to find is for color film & paper but I know you can use it with B&W so if someone can HELP ME PLEASE........

Thank you......

If it's a C-41 fixer, it's ordinary rapid fixer; dilute 1:3 for use with standard b&w film and paper.

Test clearing time with a roll end clip; clearing time should be less than 30 seconds.

I've been using this fixer for a few years, but just for film fixing. It is mixed 1:6. The reason I don't use it for paper fix is that it immediately turns pink when used (although it is still fresh)! My films are properly fixed at this dilution, even TMAX!!
