I didn't. I have seen bronzing in improperly washed (i.e. machine
processed) prints, including several of my own that I did while I was at
Sheridan; less than two years in the sun bronzed 'em. In my own
experience here I've found that the problem doesn't show up as long as
you use a reasonably long wash and a quick treatment in Sistan (a kind
of permawash from the friendly Agfa people).
Actually, the bronzed print on my wall from Sheridan is on Polymax. Heh.
Anyhow, RC is not an archival solution.
