Now that I have printer that can actually print a photo fairly well, I’m sure I’ll use it a fair bit. Before expending time and money on home made prints I want to make sure my photos will last a decent amount of time. I can always reprint images displayed at home, but I’d hate to give someone a photo as a gift and have it fade within a year.
I’ve printed color photos at work on inkjet photographic paper using standard HP inks. I’ve noticed that photos under a fluorescent light fade to a heavy green cast within 6 months. Other photos printed on plain ‘ol low grade copier paper do not fade. So I don’t think the fault is with the inks. Other photos taken 8 years ago and printed from 35mm negatives at Wolf on standard photographic paper have held up very well under the exact same lighting conditions.
What brands/types of paper would you suggest I use to avoid rapid fading of images?
Do Canon inks hold up well?
FWIW I’ve got a Canon i475D.
