ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

ILFORD GALERIE Smooth Pearl Paper — like all unprotected nanoporous

“instant dry” media — is sensitive to environmental pollutants, an effect

often referred to as “gas fading”. “Gas fading” occurs with or without the

media being exposed 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 used.

To archive this type of media, it should be stored in ﬁ les 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 inﬂ uenced 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.
