John,
After my 2-week and 2-month 'South Window' torture tests (v.bright sunlight, large temp & humidity 
changes), the Eclipse BW (bright white) showed a very small amount of yellowing, which was likely 
due to the burn-off of the optical brightener. The amount of brightener is said to be small (per manufacturer's 
statement), and Paul Roark has mentioned that his research indicates that the brightener burns off 
completely quite quickly. I found no difference in 2-week vs. 2-month results, which supports Paul's 
claim.

  Can anyone tell me if the Old Brightcube 300g double sided paper has 
  optical brighteners in it and if so, will this cause an archival 
  problem. Was there a serious flaking problem. I'm looking for an 
  affordable SMOOOOOTH paper ARCHIVAL 100%Cotton on 17X22 size. 

                       John H

  I've searched the archive without success.
