Hello Allan,

I don't think EEM yellows because of OBAs (unless it uses really crummy
ones).  It yellows (I'm pretty sure) because it contains lignens and may
also not be completely acid free.  Whatever the reason, it does it with
alarming swiftness.  There are many archival (acid and lignen free) papers
with OBAs that don't change noticeably, even after several years unprotected
by glazing under nearly constant light.  The subject of OBAs is an ongoing
controversy with disagreement even among "experts".  There is more
information about this at the bottom of the "Great Paper Chase" article at
the web link below.

Right.  Papers don't fade, inks fade.  So we have to be clear which we are
referring to in our discussions.  If we speak of a print fading we're
usually talking about an ink problem, although a given ink may fade at
different rates on different papers.  Clear as mud? <g>
