Re: acid in epson SO41257 paper base

[PhotoRoy6@aol.com]

I guess it depends if there is an intermediate layer that is acid free before 
the ink absorbing- wick layer. The solution from a manufacturing stand point 
is just to add buffers to the base side layer like Crescent does for matte 
board.

 Does this mean that the image on this paper will self destruct even in dark
 storage due to the acid in the base attacking the ink of the image over
 time? If so, could someone with a better knowledge of reaction kinetics than
 myself estimate the dark storage life of prints on this paper.
