Re: [Digital BW] Warming prints...

I don't think your album was archival. Possibly, either the plastic pages or the paper behind the prints are not really archival. Just because some manufacturer SAYS something is archival doesn't mean it is. Where did you get the album? Is the cover, the plastic, and the paper all acid free, pH neutral and so forth? If so, it would be very unlikely to be the cause of your shifts. I don't know enough about Krylon's spray to say if it could be the cause, but it is possible, when placed against plastic, or certain papers, there might be a reaction. I've been printing with this inkset since it came out, and I have never seen fading or color shifts in normal room lighting, or on prints stored in a dark cabinet. Jerry Andr\ufffd Vallejo wrote:
