Vibrant colors resist fading
With HP Inkjet photo printing 
systems for home and small 
business
HP designs its printers, cartridges, and papers so that your 
prints will last. HP’s portfolio of Original HP inks and photo 
papers print your precious photos so they stand the test 
of time.
Photo fade resistance
One element of photo quality and durability is fade from exposure to light 
when the photo is displayed. HP performs fade resistance testing in HP’s Image 
Permanence Labs.

 Additional testing has been done on some Original HP Ink 
cartridges by Wilhelm Imaging Research, Inc. (WIR), a leading independent test 
lab. The photo fade resistance ratings below are based on photos printed by 
Original HP ink cartridges on HP photo papers and then displayed under glass. 
Photos printed with HP printers and Original HP inks on HP photos papers have 
vibrant colors and are enjoyable for a long time. Original HP Cartridges are the 
only cartridges precisely developed with HP printers for reliable quality and 
striking images, photo after photo, unlike non-HP ink cartridges.
