Particularly since there is _nothing_ archival quality about that stuff.  
Cold snap maybe but a heat snap is far worse, time & light exposure also 
figure into it.  Its a great paper to print receipts on because the receiver 
of the receipt generally has a blank piece of paper in less than 6 months.

and 20 years ago there were people around who exploited that vanishing ink, 
I was the victim of it once.
