Canon photo papers last over 300 years
Under the right conditions, Canon Photo Paper will last over 300 years, according to accellerated fade test results just published by Wilhelm Research. When printed with Canon Lucia pigment inks and stored under UV-coated glass, according to the report, the paper won’t fade for at least three centuries.Wilhelm Research, which tests various print media both photographic and digital to see how long they last before they start to change color and/or fade away, has published its test results for black-and-white prints made with the Canon Pixma Pro 9500 and Canon Lucia pigment inks. The clear winner was Canon Photo Paper Plus Semi-Gloss, which under acellerated light and humidity testing is expected to last at least 300 years.When printed using standard Canon inkjet inks, the same paper tested to last 104 years. In both cases, the results were based on photos displayed framed under glass. When stored in darkness their longevity goes up. When left out in the open, they fade sooner.
