RE: Fixing Lumin Prints

I think this is a very good question. I also tried a 10% solution of
hypo and the colors largely faded (those were on the bottom row of my
examples).

I'm about to try a 2% solution, similar to the argyrotype process for
two miutes and see what happens...this will be on a dark-stored (one
week) image.

...to be continued

I have tried flowers and am not getting great colors. Unfortunately,
when I
fix the paper the majority of them go away. I tried fixing with 10%
sodium
thiosulfate but that is way too strong. My question is "how little
can I fix
with the hopes that the paper will be properly fixed?" How far can I
dilute
the fix and still have it effective, or am I just out of luck?
