Why use permanent paper?
Have you ever noticed a book with yellowed pages or even brown, breaking paper? Some papers include damaging substances, such as acids and lignin, which cause this discoloration and fragility. "Permanent paper," made to international standards, is not only "acid-free," but contains an alkaline buffer to neutralize the paper's acid content, has minimal lignin content, and is tear resistant.Permanent paper may be as handy as your office photocopy paper.
