Hello, all! Over the past few months, I have done some expirements with very long (up to four days so far) exposures of various B&W enlargement papers without development. You can see some of the results here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/53555965@N08/5874827822/

However, the print is still light-sensitive once it is made, so I can't frame, archive, or even look at it without destroying the print (the images from my Flickr were digitally scanned, and much of their contrast has already been lost). Is there some way to reduce or remove this sensitivity (or in other words, to "fix" it)? I'm told that traditional photographic fixer just washes away the halides and lightens the image without fixing.

This is my first post, and I look forward to learning and contributing more in the future. Thanks!

You certainly are getting interesting results, and I am suprised at the colors.
I would think that, as these are like Lumen prints. you could fix them. Fixing will soften them. I do Lumen prints and then treat them with Chromoskadasic Activator and Stabilizer, then fix. I lose a little and gain a little. See my web site for this.
