Robert,

Thanks for the comments. I read your notes in files>archival 
issues. It's odd that my prints that have yellowed receive very little  
indirect window light and no direct sunlight (I'm guessing a very 
small amount of UV in total).

My paper was shipped in paperboard boxes with a single cover 
sheet on top. No plastic bag. Labeled "The Hahnemuhle 
Collection Digital Fine Art"

I'm in Minneapolis. Cold and very dry air this winter. Temp in my 
studio is about 70-75.

Thanks, I plan to contact the supplier.

I'm also putting some prints in different spots around the house, 
some exposed, some under glass. It might tell me something...

One thing that may be a clue: the yellowed prints appear to have 
at least one edge (about 1/8") that has not yellowed. Maybe the 
OB is not applied "borderless"?
