When mounting prints made with MIS UT7 inks, is it best to use buffered or unbuffered materials. I had not really thought much about it until I read remarks on one vendor's web site implying that unbuffered materials might be best for use with traditial color prints because of possible color shifts caused by interactions between dyes and buffering agents. Is there an issue with modern inkjet inks such as the UT7 or Epson Ultrachrome inks?

I use buffered materials -- paper and mounting board. The old caution about buffering seemed to apply to color print dyes. I have not seen any evidence that the pigments we use do worse on buffered papers or when exposed to buffered matte board. While EEM is acidic and does very well, UltraSmooth is buffered and does better. Additionally, air-borne acids are attacking the non-buffered materials -- like my old un-mounted silver prints. The old prints on buffered matte boards seem to be doing better. The buffering in the matte boards may well be capturing the air-borne acids before they reach the un-buffered silver print paper base.
