Re: [Digital BW] Photorag 308 turning yellow

2002-02-10 by sdmey4@aol.com

No sign of yellowing here! I've only had them scattered about for 2 months. I 
do have a full show up on Photorag with several of the prints facing the 
street! Plenty of light coming in. I'll let you know how they hold up in 
about 3 more weeks. If your in the D.C. area I've heard that many of the USPS 
packages are getting xray exposure resulting in yellowing of some paper 
products. This may not show immediately.
Humidity or dampish cold paper my accelerate a yellowing. 
On a side note I window tested Hawk Mountain Osprey(a bright white paper) a 
couple years ago. The paper base yellowed in only a few days in the window. 
Now 2 years later the Osprey prints laying around indoors without direct UV 
exposure are fine and the ink tone is more stable than any other paper I've 
seen except maybe uncoated Sumerset Velvet.
