Re: [Digital BW] Re: Toxic yellow photorag!

Well, I would propose that the mysterious appearance if Bight Yellow staining 
or some other alleged paper toxin exposure that's a mystery,could very well 
be traced back to the paper purchase point. Some resellers buy Palettes of 
large Iris sized sheets and cut them down to 17x22 11x17 etc.  Awhile back These 
Iris sized Boxes
35x46.75 (Hahnemule) where packaged with a  contaminate from the tape. The 
adhesive exposed the top couple sheets to reveal bright yellow staining after 
the print was made and exposed to air, might be a week later that this would 
show up.
Turns out those top sheets that where pre exposed to contaminates then 
shipped  and appeared in any size if they where cut down by your dealer. Being that 
only a couple sheets per box where contaminated it seemed random and 
mysterious. Well, if you have seen or posess one of these bright yellow stained 
hahnemule papers I bet I can tell you where you got it! 
Could be that the newspaper mentioned in this thread had nothing to do with 
the paper turning yellow, it might be a coincidence.
