Back in the Paleolithic era when I first learned the darkroom I was taught that the cycle of work was:
Dev -> Stop -> Fix -> 5min wash -> Permawash/Hypo Clear -> Tone -> Final Wash
Tone after Fix/Clear was a Kodak recommendation as I recall.
However, I have seen a number of places of late that suggest that the end cycle should be:
Fix -> Tone -> Hypoclear -Wash (i.e. no wash after fix)
What say ye (and why)?
