If they are still using the same plastic that they used when RC paper
first came out, I suspect the same thing will happen that happened to the
first RC print I made, and taped to a window facng the outside (the sun,
God's UV source). After a couple of weeks, the surface of the print
had become completely crazed, looking like a mud flat that had dried.
Brittleness?
Never have trusted the stuff since then. Stick with paper.
