I think AA tells us not to use them... because when you turn them off they keep glowing. bummer!!!! Mark Rabiner Also for me is the brighteners in the paper kind of glow whiter than white. If the print would be viewed wtih fluorescent lights that might correlate. But for me it ends up to be just another reason why ones prints get printed down too much!
