Digital BW, The Print

Hello Paul,

> Are you sure you have the UT-FS and not the original MIS FS?

I'm sure I always ordered UT-FS at MIS. However, while the labels on
my older bottles say "FS-4-C", "FS-4-M" etc, the new ones I recently
bought say "UTFS-2000-4-C", "UTFS-2000-4-M" etc. Does that make any
difference?





> I think the main factor for avoiding the yellowing is avoiding the OBAs

I understand. But papers without OBAs are more yellow by themselves,
so what use will that be: it will not yellow because it is already
yellow. For instance, instead of Innova Smooth Cotton HIGH white, I
can also choose Innova Smooth Cotton NATURAL white, which may not
contain OBAs but is therefore yellow right out of the package (well,
not really yellow, of course. Kind of ivory).



> another paper I've used and like is Permajet Alpha.

Not available here...



> Is it possible you're getting some exposure to ozone or other
airborne pollutant that could be attacking the prints?

Well yes, but it also happens to prints that are framed behind glass
(but a lot slower).



Just to make sure: Epson Ultrasmooth is virtually the same as
Premier Art Smooth, isn't it?


Thank you,

Igor
