User Manual
Usually, only the most important business documents are displayed and often under UV lter, instead of framed under glass. HP rigorously tests
business document fade resistance on plain business paper to ensure that your documents will be readable and stable for years to come. Testing
occurs in HP’s Image Permanence Labs and at Wilhelm Imaging Research, Inc. (WIR), a leading independent test lab.
The following table shows results for recently tested HP cartridges for fade resistance under UV lter to provide examples of typical durability.
In addition, some businesses store documents in folders or cabinets and review them periodically. Documents and photos printed on HP photo
papers with Original HP inks for the oce can last for over 200 years.
