Re: Yellow tents and UV (was: outdoor gum demo)
A little below says: "EXPOSURE The printing speed of this paper requires exposures be made by contact under illumination by a strong ultraviolet light source, such as direct sunlight, open sky, mercury vapor lamp, or black light printer. Exposure times with such sources will be measured in minutes. Increased contrast, of more than one printing grade, may be achieved by exposing for extremely long durations (24 hours or more) under fluorescent illumination. ..." So any blue sensitivity is probably not enough to form an image, maybe it was mentioned because it can slightly fog the paper - who knows? "24h fluorescent light exposure?" -> Even ordinary enlarging paper will considerably change tone at that level of exposure to visible light.
