Or adding EDTA DI sodium which is acidic, in place of the tetra. With many
papers the acidic bath does indeed help your prints clear.

Paul I don't think you'll find sodium sulfite by itself will be very
effective. I'd suggest a tablespoon of sodium sulfite and a tablespoon of
tetra-EDTA per liter to replace HCA. Also, I'd consider making your first
clearing bath acidic. I really like using citric acid at about 2%-4% for a
first clear followed by two baths of HCA (or equivalent).
