Re: [Digital BW] Photorag 308 turning yellow

2002-02-09 by Michael Kravit

Jeff,

That is very interesting. I have been using H.PR 308 with a bit of reservation as I was concerned about the bright white color doing just as you report. In all honesty, I have two boxes of 17x22 and only used about a dozen sheets.  Also, I have a large supply of H. William Turner and German Etching that will take a long time to use up. Perhaps someone else on this list could do some south window tests on it. After I moved, I no longer have a clear facing south window.

I guess for now, I will stick with William Turner. A shame really as it is a lovely paper.

BTW, I have a brand new unopened 24" roll of 308 if anyone needs one.

MIke

  Hello,

  I've been printing with Hahnemuhle Photorag 308 for the past 
  three months and have accumulated quite a pile of test prints 
  that are scattered about.

  The prints on top of the heap or pinned to the wall have turned 
  yellow within a couple months of being printed.

  The prints behind glass or under shrink wrap appear to be 
  holding up. Still, I'm concerned about the rapid aging of this 
  otherwise great paper.

  Has anyone else noticed this?

  Regards,

  Jeff
