All very interesting. Thank you Mark for adding your thoughts and opinions. Sorry to hear your funding has slowed. It is great work you are doing I certainly contribute every year, and value your efforts. Please anyone reading this - make small contribution as we all benefit tremendously from Aardenberg's information.
Is the "LIPES" yellowing similar to what you see in photography book pages, where there is a clear yellowing at the edges where the air/light reaches in? I imagine it is from from the OBAs burning out & yellowing in conjunction with the air. Many great photo books over the last 15 years were printed on highly OBA rich papers, and are suffering already. It's a serious problem.
Ernst - so in your great Spectra Viz sleuthing, you are not finding the major motherload manufacturer of Canons Heavyweight - like Fuji or Mitsubishi or Schoeller? It appears to have no exact replacement or equal. Epson Premium Luster 260 is nowhere near as good, despite promising archival allusions. I am sad to hear the 240gsm Canon appears to have a different coating formulation. It is quite affordable. I think I may have to shoulder the cost and loss of white point and go over to Platine. Which is a whole other type of paper, but Mark bringing dark yellowing into the mix, means I can't take that risk, at least for fine art selling.
ps Ernst: what is the problem with 'Epson Proofing White Semimatt' ? - It sounds great but you imply photographers may not like it? Great gamut, no OBAs, affordable...
Thanks all.
(BTW, I get confused by the 'Exposure' part of that LIPES acronym, as I think of darkroom paper/film, not inkjet. When I concentrate I realize you mean light exposure, but being photography based, we tend to think in the old ways! Is there a better term to insert into an acronym?!)
