New findings to colour changes in prints during long-term dark storage of prints (2010)
Presentation / Conference
Parraman, C. (2010, May). New findings to colour changes in prints during long-term dark storage of prints. Paper presented at 4th International Conference on: Preservation and Conservation Issues in Digital Printing and Digital Photography, Institute of Physics, London

The most important impact on colour fading in prints is exposure to light and air. However what happens to coloured prints during long-term storage in boxes, drawers and on shelves? In short very little, but changes do occur. Measurements to samples,... Read More about New findings to colour changes in prints during long-term dark storage of prints.
