Digital BW, The Print

Greg, It is more than just adhesives to be concerned about. Anything that
can come in contact with the paper that has a pH much different than the
paper/coating is going to alter its appearance. I have seen that same yellow
mark on PhotoRag at the end of the rolls but I don't recall seeing it
lately.

It all depends on the adhesive used. Also certain plasticizers will 
turn the papers yellow. I've only seen this with German Etching when 
I get down to the end of the roll where it is taped. And that was on 
a partial roll that I found in storage, it was about 5 years old at 
the time, and was only yellow where the adhesive was attached to the 
paper.
