I do recall testing in which PR warmed slightly due to changes in the OBA's
and then stabilizes after this initial warming. In real time use it equated
to a slight warming over the first 5-10 years I think.

Now, if only I could remember where the testing report was....

Also, I believe Hahnem\ufffdhle is bringing out a paper (fairly similar to PR?)
which has no OBA's - so is very slightly warmer to start with but
(presumably) doesn't change as much within those first few years.

Jeff - other options would be the (more expensive) "naturally" white Arches
Infinity (I don't think you will find anything much more stable...) or
something like the Epson Ultrasmooth.
