To get back to my original post on this topic, I put a sheet of 
photorag on top of some newspaper overnight and by the next morning the 
print had turned a bright greenish yellow.. I also reported that the 
yellow seemed to be going away once I got the print away from the 
newspaper.  Well, it's been 5 days or so, and there's still quite a bit 
of yellow there, so the effect may be permanent.  Bottom line.. keep 
your photorag prints away from newspapers, and according to reports 
that I've seen in the archives, there's certain types of sealing tape 
and plastics that may cause a similar effect.
