Display Life Calculation |
Total illuminance/(500 lux x 10 hours x 365 days = 1 year) |
Tests developed and conducted by Epson under fluorescent light
(indoor display condition) with glass mount. The data is calculated by Epson's
accelerated test of prints on specialty media. |
# 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. |
