Re: Press release

Oop! That should read years ago after the six or seven, like below.
I've been using some pop paper that I got about six or seven years
ago,and would say it's still usable if you don't mind a bit of fog
and an odd look. Extra fixing to bleach out helps a bit. It has an
interesting look. BUT if you want a easy to print clean look, buy new
and use it fast. It's worth messing around with though, even when
it's old .
