Washing and drying.

If you are serious about permanence of your prints, I recommend you
tone the print, give final wash, and test for residual fixer/toner
using silver nitrate test once per session using a test strip
processed and washed in the same condition as the production prints.

Drying tips are found everywhere, but good drying screens are
definitely a plus.

Surfaces of RC and fiber differ, but I think quite a few subjects look
better on RC and FB is somewhat overrated for this matter. FB is good,
but I'd also consider different RCs. Semi-matte, pearl, and similar
surfaces vary slightly across manufacturers.
