Total illuminance/(500 lux x 10 hours x 365 days = 1 year)

    Tests developed and conducted by EPSON under fluorescent light (indoor display  
    condition) with glass mount. The data is calculated by EPSON’s accelerated test  
    of prints on specialty media. See www.epson.com.au for more info.

#

  

 Data is  calculated using accelerated simulation of fading under indoor preservation conditions including fluorescent  

light indoor display. Temperature, humidity and some atmospheric gases may also affect the rate of fading.  
The estimated lightfastness period does not indicate the colour changing or the durability of the paper itself.  
EPSON recommends that your prints be stored in a photo album (or plastic photo storage box) in acid free,  
archival sleeves commonly available from most camera shops.
