Features | Performance | Additional Comments |
Gas-fastness | Excellent with EPSON Archival and UltraChrome Ink poor with dye-based ink | With regard to dye-based images, lamination or framing under glass greatly increases gas-fastness and the life of the print. |
Dark storage | Good | Prints stored in photo albums in protective sleeves will remain stable. |
Resistance to water | Good | Bleeding does not occur with incidental water contact. However, this paper is not recommended for use in wet conditions. |
Ink drying time | Immediate (less than 30 seconds) | Ink is dry to the touch after printing. However, it takes 24 hours before it cures and becomes durable. |
Lamination feasibility | Hot lamination or cold lamination | Lamination extends the life of the print and increases durability. |
