With proper care, photographs from your Epson Stylus printer will last for many years. The special Epson Claria inks designed for your printer provide the ultimate combination of photo quality and longevity when used with Epson papers for prints that are properly displayed or stored. For best results, always use Epson papers.
As with traditional photos, Epson recommends proper care that will minimize color changes and lengthen display life:
|
•
|
Frame prints under glass or a protective plastic sleeve to protect them from atmospheric contaminants like humidity, smoke, and high levels of ozone.
|
|
•
|
For proper storage, keep your prints in a photo album or plastic photo storage box in acid-free, archival sleeves commonly available from most camera stores.
|
You can purchase genuine Epson ink and paper at Epson Supplies Central at www.epson.com/ink3 (U.S. sales) or www.epson.ca (Canadian sales). You can also purchase supplies from an Epson authorized reseller. To find the nearest one, call 800-GO-EPSON (800-463-7766).
You can print your photos from an imaging application or you can use the Windows Photo Gallery in Windows Vista.
