5 What you need to know about image permanence. How long will a photographic print last? Several key factors affect print permanence, including light, water, temperature, humidity, and gaseous pollutants. And, while manufacturers usually provide print permanence ratings, not all manufacturers use the same industry-accepted test methods. All Epson ink and papers are subjected to a comprehensive, eight-factor print permanence testing process by Wilhelm Imaging Research (WIR), the world s leading independent permanence testing laboratory. Recent advances in technology have resulted in Epson establishing new standards for print permanence for the fine art, museum, documentary, portrait/wedding, and commercial photography markets. Data accumulated by Wilhelm Imaging Research indicates select Signature Worthy and all Legacy Papers, when used with Epson UltraChrome HD and UltraChrome HDX Inks, can provide print permanence ratings up to 200 years for color prints, and up to 400 years for black-andwhite prints in indoor conditions.* What is a lightfastness rating? A lightfastness or image permanence rating refers to the amount of time it takes for noticeable fading to occur in a print. The key to lightfastness lies in the combination of inks and paper. Third-party media and inks may not yield the same lightfastness results as genuine Epson media and inks. That s why, for the best longevity and quality, we recommend using genuine Epson papers and inks instead of the third-party brands. * Ink lightfastness ratings stated in this guide are based on the accelerated testing of prints on specialty media, displayed indoors, under glass. Actual print stability will vary according to media, printed image, display conditions, light intensity, humidity and atmospheric conditions. Epson does not guarantee longevity of prints. For maximum print life, display all prints under glass or lamination, or properly store them. Visit for the latest information. 5

6 It s a magical moment when blank paper is transformed into an extraordinary print. It s why Epson developed the award-winning line of Signature Worthy Papers to bring this experience to all creative professionals. Representing the finest in color fidelity, smoothest tonal transitions, and exceptional Black density and longevity, Signature Worthy Papers are developed and tested at the highest levels to work collectively with Epson s industry-leading professional printers and inks.

42 Which paper is right for you? Choosing the right paper comes down to matching the paper type to what you re printing. Keep these guidelines in mind when selecting paper: Finish: Glossy papers are perfect for photographs and full-color graphics. papers feature a soft, non-glare finish that s great for formal portraits, blackand-white photos and brochures. Semigloss and luster papers have a satin finish that s excellent for portraits, wedding shots and scenic color images. Thickness: The paper thickness you select should depend on your intended use. Choose thinner papers (4 to 9 mil) for everyday printing, internal comps and folding dummies. Use thicker papers (10 mil and above) for photographs, flyers and brochures. Opacity: Opacity is the lack of transparency that allows a sheet to conceal images on its reverse side. The higher the opacity, the less likely an image can be seen on the reverse side. Select a paper with an opacity of 90% or higher for photos and double-sided printing. ISO Brightness: Brightness refers to the amount of light, for a specific wavelength, that a paper reflects. The more light a paper reflects, the higher the brightness. Brighter papers give more contrast that can produce sharper images and more vibrant colors. Choose a paper with an ISO brightness rating of at least 84 for everyday printing. For photos, go with an ISO brightness of at least 90. Dmax: Dmax is the measure of the maximum black that a paper and ink combination can produce and still show detail. This is especially important for black-andwhite photography. When used with Epson inks, Epson photo papers can produce a Dmax of up to 2.5. L* a* b*: L* a* b* is a system created by the International Committee on Illumination (CIE) for describing, measuring and controlling color. It is most often used by prepress professionals to compare a press sheet to a contract proof for color accuracy, and by photographers and fine artists to dial-in color. 42

43 Enjoy the finest photographic output. The design and coating of inkjet papers have a tremendous effect on the look and feel of your print. Since the level of color that is visible to the human eye depends upon the reflected angle of light, the consistency and quality of the paper s inkjet-receptive layer are of paramount importance. Uncoated Paper: Uncoated papers have a rough surface that absorbs ink deeply. This causes light to be reflected away from the viewing eye at a wide range of angles (as indicated by the arrows), making images look blurred and muddy. Uncoated paper is not a good choice for photographic output. Light is reflected away from the viewing eye. Plain paper surface magnification. Coated Paper: Coated papers feature an inkjetreceptive layer that improves ink absorption and creates a smoother paper surface, so more light is reflected back to the viewing eye. They are an improve ment over plain paper, but still do not offer the best photographic image quality. More light is reflected back to the viewing eye. Glossy paper surface magnification. Resin-coated Paper: Resin-coated media, like Epson premium photo papers, have a thin sheet of plastic (resin) between the layers of the paper. This produces a smooth surface and prevents ink from being absorbed too deeply into the paper. The ink remains closer to the paper surface, so nearly all light is reflected back to the viewing eye. The result is superior photographic prints with the look, color and feel of traditional photographs. Nearly all light is reflected back to the viewing eye. Resin-coated paper surface magnification.
