Digital BW, The Print

I had a new customer come in to my shop today that had wanted his prints on
that very BAD paper. I explained that I don't use it for this very reason;
IT yellows! I also pointed that out to the April print exchange group where
MANY of the prints were on that paper. Life is too short to make prints that
yellow in days. I use Red Rivers Polar matte and have yet to see it yellow. 

 

Happy printing

That is also my experience. It occured in only 3-4 days on EEM that
had been partly covered by other paper. You could see a distinct edge
between where it was covered and where it was not.
