Digital BW, The Print

I have known about the yellowing problem for years. I didn't get into the
specific pH issues, but knew to stay away from it for final prints. I
thought that I read that you used it to proof? If so, why? While proofs
don't need to serve a purpose past a few days, I'd prefer not to be able to
refer back to it even months later. 

 

I'll post it again here but I have also seen mounted Photo Rag prints get
REALLY yellow. Before we knew better, I was at a portrait studio that was
making books. The prints were bound in leather. Later the prints were also
offered for sale like the silver gelatin prints. Those dry mounted with
color mount type tissue turn an intense shade of yellow. That is when I
realized that these ink jet papers were going to be a problem. By then I had
already seen the EEM turn yellow and that was just from sitting there. 

 

I have had long conversations with Hahnemuhle reps about the issues. I am
quite amazed that more of the paper doesn't turn red seeing how many people
are out here on the cutting edge : )

Hello Eric,

>Clayton, I may be missing some of this thread, but are you seeing 
>yellowing of EEM? 

Yes, this is well established. It is not an acid free paper. If you
have some interest in this, just reading all of this thread will touch
on most of the issues about it (user reports, acidity tests, etc).

Regards,
Clayton
