But most important, you need to wash longer, since the fiber paper is
soaked with the chemicals.

What you will find on drying is that the paper is not flat and that it
has shrunk by about 1-3%. If you have access to a dry-mounting press,
it will be easy to flatten your prints. If not, you'll need to put them
under a pile of books for about a day. Make sure that you put
separators between them so that they don't stick together. This is the
frustrating part of printing on fiber paper.
