Default Washing time for RC prints

For a good while, I have always felt that I over wash my RC prints, on the principal that it's better to do too much, than not enough.

So reading a page on the Ilford website has opened my eyes and goes to show that there are still things to be learnt.

They state that RC prints can be washed in still water in a tray, with agitation, for 15 seconds at a time, and when using three sets of water. This is way less time and water than I currently use and is definitely much quicker!!

Being on a water meter, any way to save water is a bonus.

Read the second column and at the top right bit of text, 'RC Papers'.

Anyone else been over washing?
