Digital BW, The Print

Hi Paul-

In talking with Jon Cone at PhotoPlus, he repeatedly emphasized his findings
with EAM- that it yellows significantly in a short time.  Since this is
somewhat contrary to yours and other's findings, both in tests and
anecdotally, I wonder if these lamps are doing something different than
would be experienced in real life.
