ChromaLife100 > Gas Fastness

Up to 10-year gas fastness

Not all photographs will be framed or stored in albums – but with ChromaLife100 and Canon’s Photo Paper Pro II PR-201, colours are more resistant fading.

Many photos are displayed on places like noticeboards and refrigerators, exposed to the atmospheric gases in the air that cause fading.

With Photo Paper Pro II PR-201, ChromaLife100 photos will last up to 10 years without fading – even if they’re not stored in a photo album or displayed in a glass frame.

Tested using three types of gases

Some colour scientists test using an ozone-only test environment. However, the real-world atmosphere contains a mix of gases that can cause colour fading:
- Ozone (O3),
- Nitrogen oxide (NOx)
- Sulphur oxide (SOx)

That’s why Canon tests use a more realistic mixed-gas test environment.
