I was working on setting up a color printer last week using EEM and I was struck by the 
visible yellowing in EEM in five days time.  I left a print out on a desk where the only light is 
from north facing windows.  I was printing the same image with some modifications on a 
fresh sheet of EEM from dark storage and before I could even look at the image I was struck 
by the difference in paper color in just those few days.  It was dramatic enough that I had to 
check that it was EEM on the first print (I'd been marking them as I had a number of papers 
out) and that I'd printed on the right side.  The yellowing showed up most dramatically in the 
evenings when the only light source was 5000k flourescent bulbs.  With the 2400 and K3 inks 
it would be a question of how much of your white is dependent on paper white showing 
through.
