Re: Toxic yellow photorag!

The drawer........... well there you go. You can put platinum prints, silver prints, 
watercolors, or whatever artwork in a wooden drawer that is full of acidic compounds and 
have them turn yellow. I certainly wouldn't blame the injet rag paper for that! How silver 
prints are "made" varries considerably depending on the way they are washed, cleared, etc. 
Anything can stain if not produced and cared for properly. I have been using these inkjet 
rag papers since they first came out and never have I had a single one stain because they 
have not been stored naked in a drawer.
