John, although there hasn't been any study on it, I really think it's  
a pollution issue. I think there is something in the air in Chicago  
that kills HPR 308. Maybe Tyler has it out there too. I haven't ever  
seen yellowing happen in VT or inside Black Point in Chicago (and we  
have prints in there that have sat around for 5 or 6 years.) But that  
surface reacts to something and so-far there hasn't been much of a  
study on it. UV light exposure seems to get rid of most of the pee- 
yellow but not all. (Maybe it's off-gassing?) But I agree with you.  
The surface is great, consistent, good dark blacks, good gamut. It's a  
good product, except for a few really bothersome problems that I've  
come face to face with and that has effected my business negatively.

I'm excited about the Canson and hope to get some in in a few weeks.  
I've seen the surface and haven't had time to test it until after this  
semester is over.

all the best,
Walker
