Digital BW, The Print

Thanks, James- I agree it was most likely the dye inks causing the 
rapid fade. Is Entrada a cotton paper? I know Kayenta is Alpha-
cellulose, I'm just wondering if it is more reliable than EEM as a 
cheap proofing paper. It would be nice to have something you could 
keep or give away without worrying about it turning yellow  down the 
road.
