Page 6: Performance Guarantee
PERFORMANCE GUARANTEE Indoor Applications (Fluorescent Display) Kodak will guarantee prints from compatible systems against noticeable fading, cracking, yellowing, and bleeding when the print is viewed from its intended viewing distance. The Indoor Performance Guarantee durations will vary based on the media/printer/ink system. The stated durations assume the media is displayed indoors under fluorescent light (average intensity 450-lux, 12 hours/day), and/or with indirect sunlight exposure (at least 6 feet from a window, with no direct sunlight). - Page 7 Outdoor exposure, including exposure to ultraviolet radiation, moisture, oxidation, and chemical pollutants all influence the final outdoor longevity of a graphic image. Kodak guarantees that the effects of those exposures will not affect the quality and suitability of the graphic image print, based on accepted industry test standards, for advertising purposes and other customary outdoor display uses.
