Michael, it sounds to me as if you are proceeding correctly. My understanding of Ilford under-the-lens filters is that you do double the time for a print that you want to print at grade 4 and above.

If you use RC paper then on test strips you can get away with maybe 30 secs washing and even on finished prints 2-3 mins washing should be enough. Nothing wrong with 5 mins but if you want to speed things up without compromising longevity then consider cutting washing to 2-3 mins.

It might help if you show us your prints in either this thread or in the discussion gallery.

Glad you are enjoying the experience

Mike
