NOTES
ILFORD GALERIE SMOOTH PAPER — like all unprotected nanoporous
“instant dry” media.— is sensitive to environmental pollutants, an effect
often refered to as `gas fading`. “Gas fading” occurs with and without
the addition of exposure to light. 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.
