Inkjet Fade Resistance Testing Red River Paper

Use Our Print Life Navigation to Ensure Fade Resistance


We test many of our inkjet papers for fade resistance with popular ink sets. We'll tell you how.


Executive Summary

Red River Paper tests many of our inkjet papers for fade resistance with popular ink sets. The results are intended as a guide for your use - to determine in your mind if inkjet printing will meet your business or personal needs. Our print life estimates are not a guarantee of how long your inkjet prints will last. There are too many environmental variables (such as light, humidity, ozone concentration, etc.) for any one test to predict. The results are, we believe, close to what you will see in a typical controlled print display situation. Just like a traditional photo, inkjet prints are best kept under glass, plastic, or in a book for the longest possible print life.
