Sanders,

Plastics usually/often give off chemicals. Ever noticed how the inside of 
the windscreen on a new car fogs up? Plasticisers etc emitted from the new 
plastics in the car. As the car get older, the plastic 'dries out' and the 
fogging get less.

Does the plastic strap turn Epson paper yellow, or just some 3rd-party 
papers such as you mention? ;)

Not so fast.   I've been mute during this disucssion, but I will note (and I
wonder if others have had this experience) that the plastic strap that Epson
(EPSON!) ships with the 7600/9600 to keep paper rolls from unfurling is 
itself
reactive, and will turn the paper underneath it yellow -- not just the layer
in direct contact with it, but a number of layers underneath it as well. 
It
ruined a roll of Hawk Mountain Merlin to my dismay.   Amazing.
