Ive heard that buffered papers are not safe for color photos. Is that true?
So far, there is no evidence showing that buffered papers fade or stain photographs over time. The International Organization for Standardization (ISO) states that buffered paper should be used because it may help the paper itself last longer. This is important because the scrapbook pages are intended to provide support and last as long as your photos, memorabilia, journaling, and decorations. Remember too that just because a paper is buffered doesnt mean it is lignin-free or photo-safe.
