stability
* Varies by printer manufacturer and model.
† Based on product application including specific light levels and temperature
conditions; testing conducted as specified in ISO Publication 18909-2006,
"Photography — Processed photographic colour films and paper prints —
Methods for measuring image stability," including use of illustrative endpoint
criteria of 30% dye fade.
In independent, long-term testing of KODAK PROFESSIONAL ENDURA
Media against the previous generation of KODAK PROFESSIONAL Media,
ENDURA Media was found to exhibit significantly improved image stability in
terms of color balance and dye fade. These independent results confirmed
the internal Kodak testing and, in fact, revealed that Kodak's published
estimates concerning image longevity were conservative.‡

Store unprocessed paper between 40 and 75°F (4 and
24°C) in the original sealed package. High temperatures or
high humidity may produce unwanted print quality
changes.
To avoid moisture condensation on unexposed paper
that has been refrigerated, allow the paper to warm up to
room temperature before opening the package. For best
results, remove the paper from cold storage the day before
