Criteria for Estimation: The permanence above is estimated by using an accelerated dark storage test (ISO 18924).
Note for printing and displaying photos: Image permanence estimates may vary, depending on display/storage conditions. Estimate figures shown are the results of simulated, accelerated tests conducted by Canon Inc. and do not represent product guarantees.
Making your printed images last longer: To help photos last longer, avoid exposing them to light and external air during storage and display, as this may accelerate color fading.
