Indoor/outdoor usage
Indoor use recommended
- Paper only should be used for outdoor purposes when used with encapsulation lamination and a UV film.

Lightfastness
200 years
-Lightfastness ratings are based on accelerated testing of prints on specialty media, displayed indoors, under glass. Lightfastness only estimates the life of the ink, not the media.
One year (indoor under direct sunlight through window)
- The one year time period (indoor direct sunlight) applies only when laminated using encapsulated UV film and printed with EPSON Archival Inks.

Archivability
Fair
- It is not recommended that the paper be displayed for years as the color of the coating may change.

Resistance to water
Good
- Bleeding does not occur with incidental water contact. However, encapsulated lamination is recommended in wet conditions.

Ink drying time
Immediate Ink (less than 30 seconds) is dry to the touch after printing. However, it takes 3 hours before it cures and becomes durable.

Lamination feasibility
Pressure sensitive; cold lamination only
- Lamination extends the life of the print and increases durability.
