Abstract
A high degree of whiteness in coated papers is necessary for a quality image. Such papers often yellow in their storage environment. This wo rk studied the influence of daylight radiation and nitrogen oxide gas on the yellowing of coated papers. The yellowing is due to the action of nitrogen oxide on antioxidants in latexes and fluorescent agents. A mmonia intensifies yellowing caused by nitrogen oxide acting on latexe s but not on fluorescent agents.
