* Lightfastness ratings are based on accelerated testing of prints on specialty media displayed indoors, under glass. Actual print stability will vary according to media, printed image, display conditions, light intensity and atmospheric conditions. Lightfastness ratings do not measure paper deterioration, such as yellowing. Epson does not guarantee the longevity of prints. For maximum print life display all prints under glass or lamination or properly store them. Ratings based on testing conducted by Epson and Wilhelm Imaging Research www.wilhelm-research.com

As with traditional photos, proper care will maximize display life. For indoor display, Epson recommends that prints be framed under glass or in a protective plastic sleeve to protect the prints from atmospheric contaminants like humidity, cigarette smoke, and high levels of ozone. And, as with all photographs, the prints should be kept out of direct sunlight. For proper storage, Epson recommends that your prints be stored in a photo album (or plastic photo storage box or museum storage box) in acid free, archival sleeves commonly available from most camera shops and other retailers. By taking these steps to protect prints from direct sunlight and contaminants, you can preserve your photos for many years.
