Well, to my eye EEM doesn't get any more yellow than UltraSmooth is already. And I believe I read it has the same surface. I don't see anything wrong with selling it to other people. As long as the UltraChrome ink doesn't fade I think it makes a perfectly adequate inexpensive reprint. --- In DigitalBlackandWhiteThePrint@yahoogroups.com, "dlruckus" <dlruckus@...> wrote: > > Yes Steve, it is too bad.
