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 influence 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 scientific 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 undertake 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. Wilhelm ImagingResearch In addition to internal testing, GALERIE inkjet photo media has also received high print permanence ratings in access of 200 years from Wilhelm Imaging Research, Inc., the world’s leading independent permanence testing laboratory. Results show that ILFORD GALERIE Gold Fibre Silk, Smooth Pearl and Smooth Gloss media achieved a very high level of overall print permanence and dark storage stability ratings. When printed with HP Vivera pigment inks, the papers were found to withstand fading and yellowing for more than 250 years in archival album or dark storage conditions, and are stable for more than 200 years when displayed under glass. The Smooth papers also demonstrated a “very high” resistance to high humidity.
