Thanks for the input. The print was fine and do have any control over the paper
since I send my stuff to the lab for now. All this talk had put in prespective
of printing your own even now with digital lab.

Subject: Re: [artshow_photo] Exposing ink jets prints to direct sun light
The problem you're experiencing is definitely outgassing. It occurs
mostly with RC papers, and will happen over time even without
exposure to direct sun. I suspect with direct sun it may occur even
with non RC papers. Outgassing isn't much of a problem with fine art
papers because the glycols can escape slowly through the back of the
print, whereas RC papers have a plastic barrier which prevents the
chemicals from escaping and so, end up going front-wise to the glass.
The solution, as stated by one poster, is to lay a sheet of paper
over the print for 24-48 hours. I use plain printer/copier paper.
You'll see the paper will take on the image from the darker areas of
your print where the glycols are being absorbed. I do it twice,
changing the paper after 24 hours. It mostly solves the problem,
although I'll still have problems displaying in direct sunlight - I
just don't do it. The only real solution is to stop using RC papers.
