Environmental humidity and air circulation play an important role in the “gas fading” issue. In a protected display, laminated or under glass, indoors and away from direct sunlight, life expectancy of up to 10 years can be expected with both the gloss and the pearl papers, depending on the ink involved. To archive this type of media unprotected they should be stored in files and not open to well ventilated environments. In ventilated environments even in the dark “gas fading” can still occur. The life expectancy of all inkjet media is influenced by humidity, light and the ink being used. At higher light levels or humidity, one should expect a shorter life expectancy than at low light level or humidity. Some inkjet printer inks also offer poor stability when compared with others. When storing and handling prints at the extremes of the environmental range (<10% r.h and > 70%), performance and permanence may be reduced. Specifications subject to change without notice.
