Typically, with Farmer's Reducer there is enough hypo incorporated to prevent staining. If you are getting a yellow stain, try fixing in rapid fix. It may be that you are mixing your Farmer's with too much ferricyanide. Farmer's Reducer will change the print color slightly, especially with chloride papers.
