Print Longevity-A General Note - Epson Gemini User Manual

If the photos are printed on Premium Luster Photo Paper:
• If you want to frame your photos under glass, then to minimize the
chance of glass fogging, follow these procedures:
1. Place a sheet of plain paper over the printed surface after at least
15 minutes have passed since printing.
2. Let the photo dry like this for 24 hours.
3. Replace the plain paper sheet with a fresh one and let the photo dry
for another 24 hours.
4. Then you can frame the print.
For best results, always dry photos on Premium Luster Photo Paper
as described above before framing them, even if the photos have
already dried for a while without the paper on them.
Never attempt to dry photos by placing them in direct sunlight or by
using a hair dryer.
• Mount your photos in frames with protective glass to minimize their
exposure to light, humidity, and contaminants in the air. Also, don't
frame them in conditions with high humidity to avoid developing
condensation behind the glass.
• Display photos indoors, and out of direct sunlight or other bright lights
to prevent fading.
If you display your photos in the open (such as on the refrigerator
door), they may discolor, depending on the environment. Keep
unprotected photos away from sources of ozone and high voltage
electricity, such as televisions, computer monitors, and air cleaners.
