MAKING MEMORIES LAST A LIFETIME
A number of elements can affect the life of an inkjet print.
In addition to the type of ink and media used, factors
including light, humidity, temperature, air pollutants,
ozone levels and how and where the print is displayed,
can all infl uence the permanence of a print.
ILFORD media is manufactured using raw materials
of the highest quality and purity that preserve the
longevity of the image without contributing to colour
degradation. In addition, rigorous internal and external
tests are conducted to ensure the quality of the print is
maintained.
Before launching any new inkjet product, ILFORD tests
the media with all major printer models and undertakes
stringent scientifi c evaluation to measure the impact of
light, ozone, humidity and sensitivity to temperature.
It is not only the image’s permanence that is important
for a photographer but also the physical integrity of
the print. Therefore, ILFORD also undertakes a series
of physical tests to measure scratch, brittleness and
delamination.
Professional photographers expect the very best and
ILFORD goes that step further to ensure their internal
testing processes are not only meticulous but exhaustive
so that the standards they set are the benchmark for
others to follow.
Please visit www.ilford.com for more information on
permanence.
