My stance on acid-free paper flipped after a client's old book started yellowing.

Seeing the damage firsthand convinced me to always use archival materials.

Ugh, that's the worst. Seeing it happen right in front of you hits different than just reading about it. That yellowing is so permanent and sad. Makes total sense you switched everything over after that.

Funny how folks will ignore every warning label until they see the proof with their own eyes. Happens with car maintenance all the time, too.

I used to laugh at archival paper until my own tax records looked like ancient parchment. @kim_smith24 nailed it, seeing it happen makes you change fast.
