Hello All,
	This is one of those things that I have wondered about for a while. I 
often save test strips and working prints(pt/pd) for future toning 
experiments and or additional coatings. I hardly wash these prints at 
all. Just a few minutes in a tray with slowly moving water. I have 
noticed no signs of aging between these and prints fully cleared and 
washed in an archival print washer for 15-20 minutes. This is hardly 
scientific evidence. Perhaps we should conduct some aging tests to 
pt/pd that have been cleared and washed in different ways( different 
times, different papers etc).
