Re: [Digital BW] Sense about "archival"

2008-01-03 by Frank Jay

I am glad djon wrote that the shift is more towards a cream than a yellow. When I think of paper that has yellowed the first thing that comes to mind is the old newsprint I have that is decades old. That is what my personal fear was...that a print on the matte paper will make that drastic of a  shift in a short period of time. 
  thanks for the good post
