Re: [Digital BW] Photo Rag 308 color--warmer than EEM?

2003-11-20 by David Wroblewski

It's very possible that I'm recalling what PR looked like under
incandescent lighting. I'm viewing them next to a window under
midday north light today; last year I was doing most of my 
printing in the evenings.

Thanks to both of you who responded--this puts my mind at ease.
I was worried I hadn't stored the paper correctly.
