Abstract

This article from Digital Photographer provides advice on how to extend the lifespan of printed photos. It explains that black-and-white prints generally have a longer lifespan than color prints due to the fading of color dyes over time. The article recommends using archive paper, pigment-based inks, and UV-protected framing glass to preserve the quality of prints. It also suggests storing prints in a climate-controlled area and wrapping them in acid-free tissue paper for maximum protection. The article emphasizes the importance of considering both short-term production and long-term display when preserving printed photos. [Extracted from the article]
