Hello Kevin, the EEM will yellow pretty rapidly.  take a fresh sheet out, cover half of it and 
leave it out for a week.  You won't even have to put it in the sun, just on top of a desk will 
usually do it.  Leave a printed image out and then a week later print the same image on a 
fresh sheet and compare.  See if you can live with the yellowing or not.
