Digital BW, The Print

When a user reported a yellowing of the photorag paper base on prints that 
where just lying about, I immediately placed a print in the South window 
2/10/02. 12-13 days later I see no sign of yellowing of the paper base. Its 
not much time I no, but I'm really impressed as other papers have yellowed in 
a week. For a bright white paper I think this is very good. 
On another note, I have another box of Photorag that was 35x46 that I had cut 
in half. The very top sheet did have two bright yellow patches near the end 
of the sheet like it had been in contact with something acidic. Looks like a 
tape mark or contact mark from cardboard. There is something environmentally 
sensitive about this paper, but I doubt its UV. I'am still going to use the 
paper confidently, and may try to reproduce the yellowing staining with 
contact with other acidic sources.
