UltraChrome Out-Gassing Concerns

UltraChrome Out-Gassing Concerns

2002-12-08 by Miguel Angel Aleman <alemanma@bp.com>

Hello Everyone (important enough to crosspost across various forums)

A recent thread on the Epsonx7x_Printer's forum reports on the 
formation of an oily substance (with a "clear fine sheen" 
appeareance) on the inside of the glass of Ultrachrome/Premium-Luster 
framed pieces and on the inside of clear plastic bags containing 
similar matted pieces.

According to the poster, this is happening with a number of images 
that were allowed to dry for at least 24 hrs before they were 
framed/bagged and are only exposed to normal gallery lighting.

Anything like this going on your Ultrachrome images?
