Epson UltraChrome Lightfastness
Epson UltraChrome Ink technology will become a new standard in the wide format market for a broad range of applications from proofing to photography and fine art.
Data from Wilhelm Imaging Research, Inc. indicates that the lightfastness of color UltraChrome prints made on the Epson Stylus Pro 7600 and 9600 printers is rated up to 82 years under glass, on specific Epson media. The data also indicates the lightfastness of black and white UltraChrome prints using 7-color mode is rated at over 100 years under glass on specific media.**
Ideal Ink system for many applications
Photography that requires a lightfastness rating up to 26 years.
Color comping, general purpose graphics, and business presentation graphics.
Easy integration into sites that have already built printing workflows using this ink technology.
** Ink lightfastness rating based on accelerated testing of prints on specialty media, displayed indoors, under glass. Actual print stability will vary according to media, printed image, display conditions, light intensity, humidity, and atmospheric conditions. Epson does not guarantee longevity of prints. For maximum print life, display all prints under glass or lamination or properly store them.
