(1)  According to Wilhelm - "color shifting" really occurs under 
different  sources of light, and for this OBAs should not be used in 
manufacturing of  true "fine art" papers
 
I remember when the late curmudgeon at large, Fred Picker, of Zone VI fame,  
was expressing frustration over the crappy quality of Fiber based papers in 
his  quarterly newsletters.  He went to a French company to have his house  
brand papers made. He wanted lots of silver on the whitest base possible, and NO  
OBA's in the paper.
 
He claimed they had a weird glow to them.
 
Deja Vu.
