I live in New Zealand where there is a higher than usual amount of UV light. My bedroom gets no direct sunlight and I've been putting up proofs on the wall with pins - and after only three weeks the paper has gone markedly cream compared with a fresh sheet. Most alarming - it's not an option for use in my country it would seem.
