# Data is calculated using accelerated simulation of
fading under indoor preservation conditions including fluorescent light indoor
display. Temperature, humidity and some atmospheric gases may also affect the
rate of fading. The estimated lightfastness period does not indicate the colour
changing or the durability of the paper itself. Epson recommends that your
prints be stored in a photo album (or plastic photo storage box) in acid free,
archival sleeves commonly available from most camera shops. |
