How can I preserve my printed images?
To maintain the life of and protect your print outs please follow the guidelines below:

If you are using an EPSON Stylus Photo printer take advantage of the speciality media available. EPSON Colour life or Archival Matte paper will provide you with the best light fastness properties.
When using EPSON Premium Glossy or Semi Gloss paper ensure you adhere to the guidelines below, as they are more susceptible to atmospheric contaminants than other types of EPSON paper.

If your prints are kept in an album
· Use acid free archival sleeves – Never stack your prints directly on top of each other in an album.
· Store the album in a cool dry place to protect from humidity.
· Protect the prints from light so as to not fade them.
· Ensure that your protection method for the prints is airtight.

If your prints are to be for indoor display
· For best results mount your picture behind 2mm Soda Lime glass.
· Avoid direct sunlight.
