Since you bring up the question of long term use I wonder how your color
temperaprints (which use egg as the colloid) might fare? We know that one
of the fatal flaws of albumen prints is their tendency to yellow over time,
for which there is no known remedy, a condition apparently uniquely
attributable to the egg. Can the temperaprint escape this fate?
