NOTE
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.
