Carl;

How long have you been printing with Ilford Smooth Pearl paper? I made 
some prints on that paper about a year and when I went to look at those 
prints today I was surprised to see that the edges of the paper that 
where exposed to air ( prints where in glassine sleeves ) had turned 
yellow. Have you had any problems like that?

-Jeff
