After stop bath I use 2 bath fixing method, then as I don't have running water I use kodak HCA, 1 part in 4, for 4 minutes with constant agitation then into a holding bath, then into the cradle of a Paterson print washer for 30 minutes, very slow rate of flow of water as per Paterson's instruction's, and I have done this for the last 5 years and not a stain on any of them, previously, for however many years I would put 2 9 1/2 by 12 prints or !larger orint at a time in a home made print washer ( an old developing dish that had a lot of holes drilled in it and water in at the top/out the bottom), for the length of time it took me to make the next print, or pair of prints depending on the paper size, to have the next ready to wash, and again no stains or problems, The reason I changed to a print washer was that we had a drought over here and I was using a lot more water per print session, so washing an entire print session at one time was more economical with water
