As an artist I've been using Canson Mi Teintes pastel paper for 
years, hanging it all over my house, often without any glass in front 
and I've NEVER had any yellowing.   (BTW I had a show at a local 
gallery last May of inkjet prints on Canson Mi Teintes using the flat-
feed feature of my 2200.  That printer will print on damn near 
anything!)

Wrongo!  Vermont is downwind of the ENTIRE COUNTRY and parts of 
Canada.     Vermont has, among other things, the worst acid rain 
problem in the US.  It also gets a lot of other junk.   My brother 
lives in the northern kingdom and could tell you horror stories.

Still, it really says something about how unreliable inkjet printing 
technology is if people are actually considering MOVING just to get 
more stable prints.
