Other than that, the colour paper is a basic RC paper, and should react similarly to any B&W RC. There is something to consider, though. Colour prints fade over time, and rarely do they fade evenly. Consequently, your hand coloured print on colour paper may start o look a bit odd after a while, because of this colour shift. William Robb - This message is from the Pentax-Discuss Mail List.
