Hrrm..Smile...- it was not on *that* level I was thinking. This group 
must be very old - did you have tea and coffee in the carts at that 
time as well? Who knows - Tinting papers with Coca-Cola might give 
you a more sweet look!
It's carbonized - not? So it must be fade resistant.......<g>

OK....
If I put it this way - is there a "brown" paper out there, and has 
anyone tried a neutral print on it. If - what was the result?
Many in this group I think do experiment with inks and papers, and 
find it interesting.
Did that neutral ink cover the "brown" or tinted paper?
Just curious! (Might start experimenting myself...)

Lux!
Bo


However I get your point here - my idea was totaly irrelevant!
I also see a problem here if I pre-tint a paper the printing might 
cover the tint - however doing it afterwards should be theoreticaly 
be a better aproach. 
OK I throw that crazy idea away - but who knows.....I might...
