Professional Print Permanence Ratings
Standard Display Conditions
Permanence ratings are based on accelerated testing of prints made on the Epson Stylus Pro 4800 on specialty media, displayed indoors, under glass or UV filter.
Ratings for the Epson Stylus Pro 3800 are expected to be comparable. Actual print stability will vary according to media, printed image, display conditions, light
intensity, humidity, and atmospheric conditions. Epson does not guarantee longevity of prints. For maximum print life, display all prints under glass, UV filter,
lamination or properly store them. Seefor the latest information.
