LIGHTFASTNESS #
LIGHTFASTNESS # 120 years on Epson Matte Paper ­ Heavyweight
LIGHTFASTNESS TEST CRITERIA (INDOOR DISPLAY CONDITIONS)
Light source Fluorescent light
Intensity 70k lux
Temperature 24°C
Humidity 60% RH
Glass Mount 2mm, soda lime
Fade Criteria Pure YMC 30% loss at OD=1
Dispaly Life Calculation Total illuminance/(500 lux x 10 hours x 365 days = 1 year)
# 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.
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.
