UltraChrome Lightfastness
EPSON UltraChrome Ink technology will become a new standard in the wide format market for a broad range of applications from proofing to photography and fine art.
Preliminary data from Wilhelm Imaging Research, Inc. indicates that the lightfastness of color UltraChrome prints made on the Epson Stylus Pro 7600 and 9600 printers will be rated up to 100 years under glass, on specific Epson media. The data also indicates the lightfastness of black and white UltraChrome prints using 7-color mode will be rated as greater than 100 years under glass on specific media.*
