How long do printed pictures last on Epson Photo Paper?

• Epson Photo Paper has been specially formulated to work with Epson's ink to create prints that last as long as traditional photographs when protected from light in photo albums or similar archival conditions. When you display your Epson Photo Paper prints in picture frames or mounted on the wall, the paper provides extra UV (ultraviolet) light protection so your prints will last longer than prints on other ink jet photo papers. Depending on the type and intensity of the light your print is exposed to, a print on Epson Photo Paper may last two or more years before noticeable fading occurs. Fade resistance could decrease in intense light conditions or increase if your print is protected by glass or special laminates. For optimum results and longer print life, print your digital photos on Epson Photo Paper. See the inside back cover of your manual for a list of available paper sizes.
