Digital BW, The Print

Tim,

I too have been an EAM user and I have not had any of my Piezo prints 
shift green at this point. I did receive a file off line awhile back 
of a scan of a green shifted print. It was not a green tinge it was 
bright dollar bill green. Nothing subtle about it. Others seem to be 
reporting something subtler so there may be two problems going on 
here.

(If anyone would like to scan simultaneously a print they consider to 
have the green shift side-by-side with one the consider to not have a 
green shift, I can post the image in the Photos section of the group 
so that we can begin to get an idea of what everyone is talking 
about.)

However, the green shift is not limited to EAM it has been reported 
on other papers as well. There is one confirmed incident of the paper 
and ink shifting green in an elevator. I also don't think that there 
is any hard evidence to blame the green shift on ozone. I believe it 
was just an assumption.

As you mentioned Todd is sending some prints for ozone chamber 
testing and I will contribute a coated and uncoated EAM print to the 
test so hopefully the ozone question will be answered one way or the 
other.

There is another issue with EAM and that is the fact that it tests 
acid on the core and back with two types of pH pens (both Steadman 
and I duplicated the test result) which calls into question its life 
as a paper even if the image holds up.

So the search for a replacement.

Martin
