[Digital BW] Re: Toxic yellow photorag!

-Well that is very interesting indeed, that Photo Rag could absorb acid in such a quick and 
devistating way. This means it is even more absorbant than we even dreamed of. These 
rag papers are like sponges. Newspaper is one of the most acid materials out there. They 
are made of the cheapest wood pulp that not only has radical ph but also probably 
contains other chemicals used in the manufacturing of the newsprint itself. Would love to 
hear a chemist's opinions.....
