*Lightfastness rating is developed and conducted by EPSON using accelerated testing of prints on specialty media, under fluorescent light
(indoor display conditions) with glass mount. Temperature, humidity and some atmospheric gases may also affect the rate of fading,
especially when humidity is high. The estimated lightfastness period does not indicate the colour changing or the durability of the paper
itself. EPSON does not guarantee longevity of prints. EPSON recommends that your prints be stored in a photo album (or plastic photo
storage box) or in appropriate sleeves commonly available from most camera shops.
Lightfastness test criteria (indoor display conditions): Light source: Fluorescent Light, Intensity: 70,000 lux, Temperature: 24°C, Humidity:
60% RH, Glass mount: 2mm, soda lime, Fade criteria: Pure YMC 30% loss at OD = 1, Display-Life calculation: Total illuminance / (500 lux x
10 hours x 365 days = 1 year).
