Storing Your Printed Photos

With proper care, your PictureMate photographs will last for many years. The special ink and paper designed for PictureMate are formulated to achieve superior lightfastness for prints that are properly displayed or stored.

As with traditional photos, proper care will minimize color changes and lengthen display life:

For display, Epson recommends that prints be framed under glass or a protective plastic sleeve to protect them from atmospheric contaminants like humidity, cigarette smoke, and high levels of ozone.

As with all photographs, keep your prints away from high temperatures and humidity and out of direct sunlight.

For proper storage, Epson recommends that you keep prints in a photo album or plastic photo storage box in acid-free, archival sleeves commonly available from most camera stores.
