Digital BW, The Print

Mike, Jeff,

If you look back in the archives I believe Paul Roark did some fade testing
of the Photo Rag and it held up well in comparison of other papers. It does
have optical brighteners and will yellow slightly with time but I would not
expect it to happen so quickly and with minimal light exposure. I have been
using quite a bit of it myself and have not seen any problems so far but I
will take another look.

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.
