    Dear all,
    When we mix opaque white ink with other inks and print a proof everything is ok.
    After 24 hours the color become more yellowish, but the color of the sheets which we kept in a special folder for archiving still OK!!
    Any ideas or similar cases are appreciated.
    Thanks in advance.

    You did not mention WHAT paper you used -coated/uncoated/gloss?- If uncoated ink sets more deeply in paper thus your change of hue

    Dear mantman
    Thanks for replying. We are using SPS cardboard (a box for midicine).

    Not familiar with it but try a small test: let one sheet in a drawer and one sheet out and measure both samples -not printed sheets- just to see if paper is affected by surrounding conditions. If you have a spectrophotometer read their Lab values too

    Thanks mantman for replying.
    I'm too busy the next couple of days.
    I will try the test and send you the feedback.
