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. Photograph by Matt Parry, Marketing 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.
