some things I can think off.
1. You're using a 'warmtone' paper. The white's on some of these are distinctly creamy.
2. Do a 'safelight' test to make sure that's ok (although that might fog your paper it won't make a white base paper go yellow, so I'm not confident this wll be your problem)
3. At what stage do you notice the yellow? Immediately upon turning the lights on after being in the fixer for at least a minute or sometime after it's dried? For the 2nd case, Maybe you didn't actually mix your fixer correctly. If you leave a unprocessed piece of paper out in white light it goes yellow then brown, a developed but unfixed probably does the same.

The yellow starts to apear gradually after paper is exposed to light aftre fixing (I tried one minute, 1 1/2 min. and 2 min. of fixing). The fixer is brand new and mixed according to MFG recommendations (1 part fixer, 9 part water). The safe light is also brand new ( I dont see any sign of fogging so I don't think it is the problem). Thank you.

the fixer sounds dodgy. You mixed some more up?

The problem was with the developer...too diluted..I am mixing 1:2 and everything looks good. Thanks for your help.
