Digital Photo Printing Print Photos That Won't Fade for a Long Time SUMMARY: Use high-quality paper to ensure your printed photos won't fade.   If you want your digital photos to last more than just a few years without showing signs of age, you should consider purchasing more expensive, acid-free paper for your prints (in the inkjet world, this long-lasting paper is called archival paper). Depending on the manufacturer, paper quality, and storage conditions, prints done on high-quality paper *may* last 50-100 years or more, which is something you cannot expect with standard paper.   Add: Del.icio.us | Digg | Furl | My Yahoo!   Discuss This Tip Print This Tip Get E-Mail When New Tips are Online Return to the Digital Photo Printing page.
