Morning All, I am purchasing in Australia an Epson Surecolor SC-5070 17" roll printer next week. Going through my papers, I discovered a roll of 17" Hahnemuhle FineArt Baryta 325g/m^2.I was given it used around 5 yrs ago. Looking at it today, I notice it was not sealed in the plastic bag. It has been stored in a garage and subjected to a non air conditioned environment with temp swings from 0c to 48c. Is this likely to cause issues with the roll?
Almost 100% sure it will no longer work well, icwould not even try it, but just throw it away.
I believe that paper contains OBAs. Here's a very recent article from Aardenburg imaging on the long term staining from them:https://www.aardenburg-imaging.com/tracking-lilis/Maybe use it for nozzle checks but probably not much more than that.
I mean, does it look okay? I don't see why you would need to throw it away unless it's visibly damaged. It hasn't been exposed to light for 5 years, so while there might be some yellowing on the outside and on the edges from the box itself, 5 years isn't a terribly long time, even for a paper that does contain a decently high amount of OBAs...
