[ CANON PROMISES 100 YEAR PRINT LIFE ]
CANON AUSTRALIA has just announced their new, long-life inkjet print technology — new printers and new inks.
The system, called CHROMALIFE 100, promises to produce prints that are resistant to the fading effects of light, gases and temperature and humidity.
Specifically the company claims that ChromaLife prints, produced on a new range of PIXMA printers due in the shops on 1st September will last for 100 years when stored in an album, 30 years in a glass frame away from direct sunlight and 10 years in a "mixed gas" environment. Does that mean on the fridge door?
CANON says it has used the Wilhelm Imaging Research criteria to test the longevity of its prints.
We will provide information on the new printers and inks as it comes from Canon. Keep an eye on the CANON website for devloping information.
