An Ilford rep made a presentation recently at my camera club. He said not to use any kind of indicator product in b&w printing because they could stain the prints. I have been using Kodak indicator stop bath for many years with no apparent ill effects. Anyone care to comment?

I have used indicator stop bath for 40 years and never had a B/W print stained. I have had problems with color prints and switched to a non-indicator stop for color only.
