Digital BW, The Print

Steve,

In my latest fade test it yellowed slightly more than PremierArt Print
Shield (best) or no spray (second best).  I used Kirkland as the glossy test
paper.  Yellowing is typically one of the problems of coatings.  So, when I
detect more movement on the b* axis (did I get it right this time?) than no
spray or the best spray, my interest in the product takes a nose dive.  The
yellowing was not bad at a delta of 3.39 compared to the paper itself at
2.81, but the test, at 600 hours, is only equivalent to about 6 Wilhelm
years.  So, without more testing that indicates this initial "yellow flag"
(so to speak) is a random artifact and not a preview of more to come, I
can't recommend it.  And, frankly, I have sufficient confidence in my
testing that the product probably will not make the cut for a space in the
next fade test.  (Other issues are more important, and space is limited.)  I
expect PJ will also lose interest in the product.

By the way, I suspect the Premier Art Print Shield UV filtering is slowing
the OBA burnout.  Once all the OBAs are gone, whether Print Shield then
still yellows less than the paper is an open question.

They have acknowledged the "confusion," and I was led to believe it'll be
clarified in the future.  Time will tell.
