Wasn't there a method a couple, three (plus) decades ago that taught us to
fix the print, and transfer it to a 'fresh' fixing bath while continuing on
to print more negatives?
In other words, there was a two step fixing method and that would make sense
as to the instruction to go to a 'fresh fix' as well as an explanation that
this 'fresh fix' actually stops the toning while alum toners stop themselves
at exhaustion.
