I suppose you do as Lloyd, store your solutions
twixt prints and when finished.
I use all chemistry one-shot and with RSV, reduced
solution volumes or MRSV, much reduced solution volumes,
depending on where YOU are coming from. I've decided that
one or the other of those is more descriptive than lfp.
Over all, metering out of the chemistry allows for
very little waste. On whole chemistry is used dilute
to very dilute.
It is a shocking experience; everything down the
drain after just one use. And WOW, archival results and
lots of capacity with ONE fix. Dan
